Jailbreak: A Crime Novel

By John Robb

"When Pyro made his planned escape from the penitentiary, his former criminal associates were waiting for him with a getaway car. The gang had been promised a share of the vast fortune Pyro had hidden away before the law had caught up with him. But instead of taking them straight to his buried cache, Pyro ordered a detour to the small town of Onnaville, where he blackmailed a plastic surgeon into giving him a new face.

The Doctor too had been promised a share of the loot, but instead he was murdered by Pyro, who then ran out on his gang—safe in the knowledge that they had never seen his new face. But nemesis was at hand…"
