Jimmy Keene grew up outside of Chicago and was destined for greatness on the football field. By the time he reached his twenties, he was rubbing shoulders with famous actors, porn stars, and the children of powerful politicians. He had it all: cars, girls, and houses up and down the Gold Coast. But behind his well-connected star athlete façade was the man who paid for it all: a money-obsessed drug dealer desperate to make the big score that will get him out of the business. Soon a few costly mistakes left Keene with a ten-year prison term and no chance of parole.
At that point it seemed the only lessons he would learn would be about navigating convict society as deftly as he had the world of drugs. Instead, less than a year into his sentence, Keene was offered a chance to regain his freedom in return for going undercover in the nation's highest security prison for the criminally insane. His task was to get friendly with Larry Hall, a suspected serial rapist and murderer, obtain his confession, and find out where the body of one of his victim's was buried. If he succeeded, Keene would get an unconditional release. If he failed, he'd have no choice but to ride out his term. If he was found out, he could also be killed.
For nearly a year, Keene walked the line between the part he played and the self he hoped to redeem, all the while dodging punches from deranged inmates, currying favor with imprisoned Mafia dons, and staying beneath the radar of Larry's oddly protective psychiatrist.

Intressant historia, skrämmande att den är verklig.

Boken var helt okej, tycker den var intressant att lyssna på även om den bitvis var lite seg men vilken bok är inte det!? Helt klart värd att lyssna på iaf och uppläsaren var också bra.

Blev nyfiken på boken efter att ha sett serien Black bird. Boken är bra, ganska detaljerat, nästan dokumentär, men torr. Serien, däremot är otroligt spännande, skådespelarna är fantastiska: Larrys enorma polisonger, creepy röst och listiga ögon och Jimmys charm. Deras samspel är som dans eller katt råtta lek, som växer hela tiden. Helt fantastiskt! Sett den flera gånger. Rekommenderas varmt!
