Roman policier (suspense)
Texas, 1960. Elliott et Clarence sont deux demi-frères nés sous une mauvaise étoile. Après l'assassinat de leur mère, ils ont passé le plus clair de leur adolescence dans des maisons de correction et autres établissements pénitentiaires pour mineurs. Le jour où Earl Sheridan, un psychopathe de la pire espèce, les prend en otages pour échapper à la prison et à la condamnation à mort, ils se retrouvent embarqués dans un périple douloureux et meurtrier. Alors que Sheridan, accompagné des deux adolescents, sème la terreur dans les petites villes américaines bien tranquilles qui jalonnent leur route, une sanglante et terrible partie se met en place entre les trois protagonistes. Loin de se douter de la complexité de celle-ci, la police, lancée à leurs trousses, et en particulier l'inspecteur Cassidy ne sont pas au bout de leurs surprises.

Work Description
1960s. Orphaned by an act of senseless violence that took their mother from them, half-brothers Clarence Luckman and Elliott Danziger have been raised in state institutions, unaware of any world beyond its walls. But their lives take a sudden turn when they are seized as hostages by a convicted killer en route to death row. Earl Sheridan is a psychopath of the worst kind, and as he and his two hostages set off on a frenetic path through California down to Texas, Clarence and Elliot must come to terms with the ever-growing tide of violence in their wake. It's a path that will force them to make a choice about their lives, and their relationship to each other-and it will change their lives forever.
