The House of Numbers

Read The House of Numbers Storyline:

SAN QUENTIN
I've got to make my older brother understand: He has to get me out of here. It's not the walls, not the monotony, not the guards, not the cell the size of a closet.
It is, very simply, a matter of life and death. It's a guard who's been assaulted … and according to California law, it's death for a lifer to strike a guard.
That's me they're talking about. I'm the lifer.
And as I sit here looking at him, I know he'll do it — for his kid brother. He always was a sucker.
"I can hardly endorse the escape plan that gives this book its excitement, but the author has really got the feel of prison life and the facts about what it's like inside." — Harley O. Teets, Warden, California State Prison, San Quentin
The House of Numbers draws its grim excitement from San Quentin, and its compelling drama from two brothers in conflict — over a desperate escape plan … and over a woman.
Soon to be an M-G-M movie starring JACK PALANCE
