Book description
Orphaned by an act of senseless violence that took their mother from
them, half-brothers Clarence Luckman and Elliott Danziger have been
raised in state institutions, unaware of any world outside. But their
lives take a sudden turn when they are seized as hostages by a convicted
killer en route to death row.
Earl Sheridan is a psychopath of the worst kind, but he has the
potential to change the boys' lives for ever. As the trio set off on a
frenetic escape from the law through California and Texas, the two
brothers must come to terms with the ever-growing tide of violence that
follows in their wake - something that forces them to make a choice
about their lives, and their relationship to one another.
Set in the 1960s, BAD SIGNS is a tale of the darkness within all of us,
the inherent hope for salvation, and the ultimate consequences of evil.
It returns to the haunting ground covered in the award-winning,
international bestseller, A QUIET BELIEF IN ANGELS. R. J. Ellory is
the author of eight previous novels including the bestselling A QUIET
BELIEF IN ANGELS, and the Theakston's Crime Novel of the Year Winner, A
SIMPLE ACT OF VIOLENCE.
