This is a newer book by Harlan Coben. A young boy is murdered and the father was drunk and passed out. The father is found guilty of using a baseball bat to kill his son basically in his sleep/drunken state. He is serving life in prison where a family friend is warden. A sister in law visits and shows him a picture with his son in the background from a few months ago. A kind of crazy prisoner tries to kill the guy, a prison guard tries to kill him so warden helps him escape. Him with sister in law tracks down and finds son. Throw in a couple really kind of stupid acting FBI investigators along with a mob boss and things are really jumbled. At least story keeps moving forward quickly enough that you don't realize how often these side characters are just thrown aside as two dimensional people. Just think this could have been a better story, seems like it was rushed or just several ideas floating around shoved together for a story.
There are 25 WL for this book, last I checked--just checked now and at 22 WL on PBS for this book. Will post & send off at some point if I ever need credits there again.
