Angels in Hellholes

By J.F. Schmitt

Mental illness and prison. Sexual identity and race relations. A criminal justice system without justice. Escape, kidnap, and murder. In the American Midwest, Larry Davis has a major break from reality. His bizarre behavior lands him in jail and prison instead of hospitals. The nightmares he experiences, both human and nocturnal, convince him that he will die in a prison cell or, at best, become an over-medicated shell of a human. He escapes, but his demons travel with him, first to Puerto Rico, then to the Caribbean island of St. Kitts.While his sister and his lawyer work valiantly, with the help of a police detective, to right the wrong of his incarceration, he becomes a part of the island, an almost mythical inhabitant of the island's mountains. His sudden comings and goings, at all times of day and night, earn him the title of "The White Ghost".But the lives of everyone involved change in the worst possible ways when his tormentor, the judge who imprisoned him, arrives on the island for a vacation with her partner. He is convinced that they are but the vanguard of a force of police and FBI officials trying to track him down.When the vacationers are involved in a fiery car-train collision, he finds himself alone with the unconscious judge. His long-suppressed fury takes hold, and he decides that she, like himself, must "do her time". What follows is a weeks-long hellish battle between the prisoner and her "guard". Their physical and mental battles slowly tear them apart until, in the end, there is only one possible outcome. The question is, will the arrival of his sister and the police detective be enough to forestall that outcome?This is not a book for children or adolescents. It contains the frequent use of explicit adult language and sexual references. It contains a number of scenes of graphic violence.
