Until the Seven Deadly Sins break free, read about more human evil with the final book in the Prison Break Trilogy when on September 30, 2008 fugitive Tom O'Brien has one last chance to prove his innocence . . . or die.

Shes a successful fraud investigator who assumes everyone lies. Though Claire is convinced of her fathers guilt, curiosity propels her to look into the disappearance of a law student who claimed to have proof of Toms innocence.

Obsessed with the OBrien case, FBI agent Mitch Bianchi befriends Claire under false pretenses, certain that Tom is not only innocent but in grave dangerand not just from the cops. As the three race toward the truth, a murderous conspiracy tightens its nooseand Claire becomes the target of an ice-cold psychopath who will kill to protect his secrets.
