| Summary: | Sonny Lofthus has been in prison for a dozen years. The inmates who seek out his uncanny abilities to soothe leave his cell feeling absolved. They don't know or care that Sonny has a serious heroin habit-- or where or how he gets his uninterrupted supply of the drug. Or that he's serving time for other peoples' crimes. Sonny is the seemingly malleable center of a whole infrastructure of corruption, all focused on keeping him high and in jail. But when he learns a stunning, long-hidden secret concerning his father, he makes a brilliantly executed escape from prison and begins hunting down those responsible for the crimes against him. |
