About this audiobook
In A Small Town, twelve conspirators meticulously plan to throw open all the gates to the prison that contains them, so that more than a thousand convicts may escape and pour into the nearby small town. The newly freed prisoners rape, murder, and destroy the town-burning down homes and businesses. An immense search ensues, but the twelve who plotted it all get away.
After two years, all efforts by the local and federal police agencies have been in vain. The mayor and city attorney meet, and Leah Hawkins, a six-foot, two-inch former star basketball player and resident good cop, is placed on sabbatical so that she can tour the country learning advanced police procedures. The sabbatical is merely a ruse, however, as her real job is to track the infamous twelve. And kill them.
Leah's mission takes her across the country, from Florida to New York, from California to an anti-government settlement deep in the Ozarks. Soon, the surviving fugitives realize what she is up to, and a race to kill or be killed ensues. Full of exhilarating twists and surprisingly resonant, A Small Town will sweep listeners along on Leah's quest for vengeance.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Thomas Perry usually writes a novel containing some serious violence and this one has its share. The plot contains a prison escape that after it is over there is a Small Town that deserves revenge. In steps a local woman officer who has the skills and the deep seeded motive to find and carry out this mission.
She waits until the FBI stops hunting the main prisoners still missing This takes over two years, a time that she has been gathering everything she can find on these men. Of course this takes the rest of the story and it keeps your complete attention so that you can hardly put the story down!
