Work detailsHell and Gone by Duane Swierczynski (2011)
Every bit as good as the first book in the series. I can't wait for the 3rd book in the trilogy. Swierczynski is tops in his field, great style of writing and able to tell a great story that keeps you turning pages. (  ) bjkelley | Mar 2, 2013 |   This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.I’m not sure anyone is writing crime novels, with such crazed and inventive audacity, as Swiercynski. These books are smart, funny and mind-blowing. I can’t wait to see what he has in store for the final book in the trilogy. I’m leaving my flak jacket on, just in case.

LastCall | Dec 23, 2011 | Another week and another Duane Swierczynski novel down. This time it's part two of the Charlie Hardie trilogy - Hell & Gone (Amazon UK). Following on from Fun & Games (Amazon UK) last week, I can't believe I have to wait another 3 months until part 3 "Point & Shoot" (Amazon, Amazon UK) is released. Seriously? 3 months? Can I have an ARC now please? No? Thought not. D@mn!

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0316133299, Paperback)The second of three high-energy thrillers arriving back-to-back from cult crime fiction sensation Duane Swierczynski.Left for dead after an epic shootout that blew the lid off a billion-dollar conspiracy, ex-cop Charlie Hardie quickly realizes that when you're dealing with The Accident People, things can get worse. Drugged, bound and transported by strange operatives of unknown origin, Hardie awakens to find himself captive in a secret prison that houses the most dangerous criminals on earth. And then things get really bad. Because this isn't just any prison. It's a Kafkaesque nightmare that comes springloaded with a brutal catch-22: Hardie's the warden. And any attempt to escape triggers a "death mechanism" that will kill everyone down here--including a group of innocent guards. Faced with an unworkable paradox, and knowing that his wife and son could be next on the Accident People's hit list, Hardie has only one choice: fight his way to the heart of this hell hole and make a deal with the Devil himself.

He is kidnapped by a team of team of undercover operatives and forced to stand guard over an underground prison that houses the most dangerous criminals on earth. Or so he's told. As Hardie goes deeper, and finds himself behind bars, he begins to wonder: who is running the asylum and are the good guys the ones behind bars or the ones walking the halls? But, Hardie knows that the world outside hasn't stopped and that his family is in peril as he languishes in this pseudo-prison. Soon, Hardie is plotting a desperate escape that will visit a Pandora's box of mayhem upon the state of California. He'll make some new enemies. But he'll take care of many more. Because nobody does justice like Charlie Hardie.
