Welcome to Pelican Bay Supermax
...where three thousand of America's most dangerous criminals are locked away for life.
For five days, it's also home to Ryan Lock - an elite bodyguard on an impossible mission.
Posing as a new inmate, Lock must protect Frank "Reaper" Hays, a ruthless Aryan Brotherhood leader turned star witness. But keeping Reaper alive in a sea of enemies is just the start. As racial tensions simmer and gang alliances shift, Lock realizes that in Pelican Bay, danger lurks around every corner.
Praise for Sean Black's Ryan Lock series:
'Sean Black writes with the pace of Lee Child and the heart of Harlan Coben.' – NYT Bestseller, Joseph Finder
'An action movie on the printed page. Throw into this mayhem Ryan Lock, a protagonist tough enough to take on the Jacks of this world (that's Bauer and Reacher) and you've got an adrenalin-rush read that you're not going to forget any time soon.' – Russel McLean
To research his books, Sean Black has trained as a bodyguard in the UK and Eastern Europe, spent time inside America's most dangerous Supermax prison, Pelican Bay in California, undergone desert survival training in Arizona, and ventured into the tunnels under Las Vegas.
His Ryan Lock and Byron Tibor thrillers have been translated into Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portugese, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish.
When he’s not writing, Sean trains combat sports. In Paris in 2023 he became the only amputee to ever become a European champion in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.View all by Sean Black
