Opis

ADX PRAXIS ADX Praxis is the Bureau of Prisons' maximum-security facility at Red Lake. It serenely overlooks the water from Cramsden Point. Behind its fences, walls, and rumored death strips resides the scum of the penal system. Praxis also holds political prisoners, enemies of the state, men convicted of terrorism, spying, and treason. On "D" block, these traitors live twenty-four, seven, in complete isolation. When they move, cameras and electronic gates control it. Guards watch by monitors. Rarely do they see anyone face to face. Eddie Ames, who is treading financial water as a security guard, suspects that something is not right. He hints to his wife, Lisa, that better times are coming for her and their kids. But, a car crash takes his life. Sheriff Gaines rules it an accident, however, Lisa Ames has her doubts. With only enough money to buy a day or two she hires Harry Grim, a private eye, who is rumored to prefer fishing to working. Harry's questions irritate someone, but whom? His house blows up. Paula Lindstrom, his curvaceous girlfriend and part time secretary is kidnapped. Strange visitors roam Red Lake, men who flash badges with an alphabet soup of initials. CIA, DHLS, FBI. Who do you trust? What if everything you were told was a lie Sensing a target on his back, Harry calls his ex-Army pal, Barton Dirk, who was known as Ice, when he ran with a street gang. Now a mercenary, Dirk is a man whom any killer would most fear in the dark. He writes his own rules. Harry and Barton, become the hunters instead of the hunted as they pursue an illusive enemy. When forced to choose, should Harry side with justice or with his country's claim of national security? Along with his buddy, Barton Dirk, Harry exposes a conspiracy that goes back to Lee Harvey Oswald and ends with today's War on Terror.
