Jack Marconi

They call Jack Marconi “Keeper”. As the warden of the maximum security Green Haven Prison, his specialty is keeping things locked down. But when an infamous cop killer busts out on his watch, Keeper must leave the world of iron bars behind and join the ranks of the hunted. There’s no doubt that Eduardo Vasquez had friends on the inside. Now some of the same people who helped Vasquez escape are trying to set up Marconi to take the fall. To clear his name, he’ll have to go on the lam himself.

Jack "Keeper" Marconi is desperate to move on - from his former job as a prison warden, from his wife’s horrific death in a car accident, and, most of all, from the torturous suspicion that the hit-and-run driver was actually aiming for them. But when, three years later, Keeper catches a glimpse of the ominous black Buick that broadsided their car, he knows what he must do: find that driver. Even as his life is hurtled off axis, a PI case comes his way. A beautiful woman - an author on an assignment gone wrong - has been locked up in a notorious Mexican prison.

When two cons doing several respective back-to-back life sentences for murder make a daring - if not Hollywood-style - escape from the Dannemora Maximum Security Prison in upstate New York, PI Jack Marconi receives a personal invitation from the governor of New York State to track the murderers down and deliver them personally to the front door of the governor's mansion.
