In Jen J. Danna's gripping suspense series, NYPD detective Gemma Capello is called to Rikers Island, where a prison riot threatens to become a bloodbath . . .

On Rikers Island, tensions always run high, especially in the Enhanced Supervision Housing unit. The ESH is home to Rikers' most dangerous offenders, many of them members of rival street gangs. When Gemma Capello and her team get word of an uprising at the ESH, they know how much is at stake. Gemma also has her own unresolved feelings to deal with—this is the first case she and Detective Sean Logan have worked together since a siege at City Hall that ended with the hostage taker's death.

Built to hinder escape, prisons are also especially difficult for a tactical team to invade. That's a last resort for Gemma, but the longer the inmates remain in control, holding corrections officers hostage, the greater the risk. Gemma begins negotiating with Kill Switch, a young, aggressive member of the Filero Kings gang and the inmates' spokesman. She can tell the stress level is escalating inside. That may give her team some advantages, but it soon leads to a brutal act of retribution—and threats of more to come.

Navigating assumptions on all sides, Gemma desperately tries to stop the body count from rising. But with disagreements and volatility increasing all around, the only certainty is that the next misstep may be a fatal one . . .

      A hostage standoff within one of the two Enhanced Supervision Housing units at New York’s Rikers Island drives Danna’s solid sequel to 2020’s Exit Strategy. Two rival gangs—the Filero Kings and the Gutta Boys—have each taken multiple hostages, including correction officers and inmates, making the situation particularly complex. When Det. Gemma Capello of the NYPD Hostage Negotiation Team succeeds in reaching Eduardo Rivas of the Filero Kings, who seems to be in charge of the fragile inmate hierarchy, she asks for his list of demands. But Rivas says he’ll only give them to reporter Greg Coulter, Gemma’s nemesis. Gemma reluctantly agrees and seems to be making progress after she arranges with Rivas to get medical care for the hostages. But when a Gutta Boy hangs a Filero King, things start to spin out of control. The prison’s warden is set up as an antagonist, but feels underdeveloped, and at times the discussion of police procedure gets repetitive. Still, Danna’s convincing portrayal of the hostage negotiating process and life at Rikers keep the pages turning. Readers will look forward to Gemma’s next outing. Agent: Nicole Resciniti, Seymour Agency.
