Hell and Gone
Autor Duane Swierczynskien Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 oct 2011
Left for dead after an epic shootout that blew the lid off a billion-dollar conspiracy, ex-cop Charlie Hardie quickly realizes that when you're dealing with The Accident People, things can get worse. Drugged, bound and transported by strange operatives of unknown origin, Hardie awakens to find himself captive in a secret prison that houses the most dangerous criminals on earth.
And then things get really bad. Because this isn't just any prison. It's a Kafkaesque nightmare that comes springloaded with a brutal catch-22: Hardie's the warden. And any attempt to escape triggers a "death mechanism" that will kill everyone down here--including a group of innocent guards. Faced with an unworkable paradox, and knowing that his wife and son could be next on the Accident People's hit list, Hardie has only one choice: fight his way to the heart of this hell hole and make a deal with the Devil himself.

Recenzii
"Charlie's internal voice is fun to follow and the action sequences are killer. I could easily see these books as a major summer blockbuster... the book goes from action to action, rarely stopping to catch a breath and I stayed up late one night turning the pages to the end...If non-stop, cool action sequences with fun characters are your thing, you need to read some Swierczynski stories."—Wired.com
"Frenetic [and] breathless .Those waiting for the payoff promised ... will feel amply rewarded by the end."—Publishers Weekly (starred)
"The compelling premise pulls all our paranoid strings, and Swierczynski, like a mad scientist twirling dials, ratchets the tension ever tighter.... Stay tuned for part three of what may be the most unusual thriller series in a long, long time."—Booklist
"Duane Swierczynski puts the rest of the crime-writing world on notice. So learn to spell the last name. He's going to be around for awhile."—Laura Lippman

Mulholland Books presents... HELL AND GONE
There are some criminals so dangerous the world can never know about them.
They can't be held in regular prisons.
They must never be released.
They're here - in a secret underground prison miles away from anywhere. And now, so is Charlie Hardie. The shadowy organisation running the jail sent him there as punishment for getting in their way. But he's not a prisoner. He's in charge.
He can leave any time he wants, he's told. There's just one catch: if he goes, everyone in the prison dies, including innocent guards.
But when Charlie realises his family may be in danger, he knows he must protect them at any cost.
Even if it means blasting his way out, one inmate at a time...
