There's a school of thought that says that Bunny McGarry's done well to avoid jail up until now, although that school is a bit unreasonable, especially if you ignore the small matter of the death of his long term police partner, and the whole faked death thing, but ending up in jail under a fake identity, with the intention of breaking somebody else out of jail, at the request of a dodgy criminal gang who are holding the only nun that knows the whereabouts of his beloved Simone? Sure. Why not.
That the jail is supposedly unbreachable, the person he's supposed to take out with him has no idea it's happening, and is a bit on the "unusual" side, well all these things are by the by when the Sisters of The Saint dream up a plan it's going to work or somebody (not them) is going to get hurt trying (maybe Bunny), or possibly a tank full of snakes. You'll have to listen / read the story for yourself to find out.
Book 3 in the McGarry Stateside I do like the blurb's final line "The third book in the McGarry Stateside series is The Shawshank Redemption meets Ocean’s Eleven."
The Quiet Man
Getting into prison is easy, it’s getting out that’s tricky.
Almost everyone in prison will tell you they’re in there for a crime they didn’t commit, but Anthony Rourke really means it. That’s because he’s actually Bunny McGarry, who has got himself into one of Nevada’s finest penitentiaries under false pretences. He is there to bust someone else out.
The Sisters of the Saint, no ordinary bunch of nuns, find themselves caught between a rock and a hard place when two of their order are taken hostage. The only way to ensure their safe return is to trade them for the mysterious man who is now Bunny’s cellmate. Rumours abound as to who this man really is, but seeing as nobody is allowed to communicate with him in any way, figuring that out will be tricky.
The last thing the situation needs is further complications, but when Sister Dionne comes into contact with an UFO cult, she recognises it as a massive con job. The reason she is so sure is because the whole thing was her idea in the first place—and now she is determined to put an end to it.
The clock is ticking, the prison authorities are suspicious, and lying low has never been a McGarry strong suit. Can Bunny and the Sisters pull off an audacious prison break against near impossible odds?
The third book in the McGarry Stateside series is The Shawshank Redemption meets Ocean’s Eleven.
