Death Row Breakout

Six stories from the papers of one of Americas finest crime authors Roger doesnt mean for the preacher and his wife to die. Released less than a year earlier from San Quentin, hes trying to make a living the only way he knows how: theft. His latest heist goes perfectly until his car breaks down. Sirens are closing in when an old black preacher stops to give him a lift. The police at the roadblock kill the elderly couple, but in the eyes of the law its Rogers fault. And he will die in the gas chamber at San Quentinunless he can break out first. Rogers incredible story anchors this collection of short fiction by Edward Bunker, who knew better than anyone what it means to be a criminal, inside and outside of prison. In these stories, which were unpublished at the time of his death in 2005, he shows again the talent that made him such a remarkable writer.
