About This Book

The narrative follows a violent convict who stages a daring prison escape and plunges into the river to begin a long, calculated quest for vengeance against a former partner now a wealthy industrialist. Authorities broadcast his description via radiovisor while the industrialist gathers security and urges his family to flee by helicopter to a summer retreat. The escapee endures injury and cold as he presses inward across hills toward an arranged rendezvous, and the story traces the tightening pursuit, the survivors' fear, and the collision of personal hatred with advanced surveillance and transport technologies.
