About this book
A cat slips into Craig's punishment cell at San Pedro Prison and gives him something beyond the years of confinement ahead to think about. When he discovers what she carries around her neck, a small comfort becomes a possible means of escape. Perley Poore Sheehan opens this detective story among six prisoners whose whispered conversations and watchful listening turn every sound into a matter of consequence.
The later action brings Craig into contact with Harry Gosse, an armed fugitive, while a former prison warden joins a pursuing crowd. Craig's concern for Aunt Katherine and the people connected with her complicates his efforts to stay free. Prison life, hidden loyalties and sudden danger shape a story suited to readers who enjoy escape plots and pursuit. The contrast between the dark cells and a garden interrupted by gunfire gives the suspense a sharply physical setting.
