Hell and Gone

Want to know why there aren't more Zodiac killers and Mansons and Bin Ladens running loose in the world? Because they'rehere--in an experimental facility hidden in a blank spot on the map. A place to send those too dangerous to kill. Where they can be contained. Studied. Neutralized. Hardie's been whisked off to this top-secret prison as revenge for his actions in FUN AND GAMES. But he's not an inmate. He's thewarden. He can leave at any time, but that means releasing the monsters, too-a price to steep to ever pay. But when Hardie realizes he's unwittingly endangered his family, all bets are off, and he's getting out-even with the most dangerous killers alive right at his heels.
