Raymond White had it all.  He lived the good life.  He had a partnership in a law firm, a beautiful girlfriend and was very close to a seat in a political office. 

Raymond's life took a drastic turn on the day he went to visit Congressman Williamson at Valley Hospital.  He noticed that none of Robert Williamson's family was there - just two men in three-piece suits.  Raymond heard Roger say "promise".  He wanted Raymond to take a legal sized envelope he was holding in his hand.  It was addressed to Celeste Oliver.  He wanted Raymond to promise he would deliver the envelope and not tell anyone about it.  Raymond assumed the two men in the room were not aware of this arrangement.  Raymond didn't know what was about to happen but he was going to be framed for murder.

Raymond spent twenty years in prison for a murder he did not commit.  He had plenty of time to think about getting even with the men who were responsible. 

Raymond becomes friends with an art thief named Lester Cole who plays an important role in the things that have happened to Raymond in the past.  Together they plan an escape.

Is Raymond able to get the revenge he has planned for such a long time?

To put it in simple terms, this novel is full of suspense.  You will start to feel it right on page one and it continues to build throughout the book.  Tim Green does an excellent job of not letting the pace slow down.  He makes you feel like you are right there beside Raymond helping him plan his revenge.  This book is highly recommended.
