The Burning

There’s nothing to trace Anna back to her old life. Nothing to link her to the incident. At least that’s what she thinks—until the whispers start up again.

Just as Larry Newton, one of the most notorious inmates at Indiana Federal Prison, was trying to break out of jail, Laura Bates was trying to break in.
