About this audiobook
They busted out of McAlester State Penitentiary—three escaped convicts going to ground in a world unprepared for anything like them....
Lamar Pye is prince of the Dirty White Boys. With a lion in his soul, he roars—for he is the meanest, deadliest animal on the loose....
Odell is Lamar's cousin, a hulking manchild with unfeeling eyes. He lives for daddy Lamar. Surely he will die for him....
Richard's survival hangs on a sketch: a crude drawing of a lion and a half-naked woman. For this Lamar has let Richard live...
Armed to the teeth, Lamar and his boys have cut a path of terror across the Southwest, and pushed one good cop into a crisis of honor and conscience. Trooper Bud Pewtie should have died once at Lamar's hands. Now they're about to meet again. And this time, only one of them will walk away....

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5What a big pile of rubbish.
Absolutely a empty story. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Didn't know what to expect at first but this book is very good
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I read this many years ago and throughly enjoyed it. This time around I actually loated it. I hated basically everything about it. I fast forwarded to the end fight seen and turned it off after never even finishing it. This is a great story for a young adult but does not get better as one ages. If you wanna read or listen to a story about a sick criminal and a cheating husband with way to much detail this is the book for you.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent book very well read. Really captured the personalities at work.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Barely worthwhile.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Lamar Pye, his mentally retarded cousin, Odell, and a thrid man escape from McAlester State Penn, a maximum security prison. Pye had just murdered another prisoner who tried to rape him in the prision showers. Now, with nothing to lose, the men go on a killing and robbery spree in Oklahoma and North Texas.They stop at a ranch to see if they can find weapons. The ranch is owned by WWII vet Bill Stepford who lives there with his wife, Mary.State police Sgt. Bud Pewtie and his young partner, Ted Pepper, happen to stop at a restaurant where the waitress asks them to check in on Stepford. He comes to that restaurant for breakfast every day and didn't show up. Since he's an older man, she is worried that something may have happened.Not suspecting that they are approaching cold blooded killers, the troopers are ambushed. Pepper is killed and Pewtie wounded.Stephen Hunter gives an excellent, well plotted story of the escape, the horrors inflicted by the fugitives and the relentless pursuit.All of the major characters have flaws. Pewtie is a self-centered egotist who is having an affair with his partner's wife. His lieutenant is an alcoholic and Lemar Pye is so evil that the memory of his deeds will remain in the reader's mind for a long time.An enjoyable reading experience.
