a thriller

Hurricane Anna, a superstorm of two Category 5 hurricanes coming together, will wreak unprecedented havoc along the eastern seaboard. The officers at Ravenhill Correctional Institute in Florida flee, opening all the cell doors and leaving the inmates to fend for themselves as the floodwaters rise. Jack Constantine, an ex-cop serving ten years for killing one of his wife's murderers, is still seeking revenge against two of his wife's killers, who are among the prisoners relocated to the Glasshouse to ride out the storm. Kiera Sawyer, a Correctional Officer on her first day at work, is the only officer left behind when the others flee. Sawyer rescues Jack, and if they can make it to the Glasshouse they might just survive the hurricane. But right now that's a pretty big "if." -- adapted from jacket
