Review: Good but not great...

When a claustrophobic journalist makes himself the prime suspect in a gruesome cop killing, he soon finds himself locked up and facing the chop. He has his own reasons for getting himself into this fine mess, both career and personal. But when his get out of jail free card goes missing, things suddenly become all too real.The plot plods along nicely enough. Underlying issues of racism, bent cops, and steroid abuse play a large part.I was expecting a bit more of an insight into prison life and especially death row. The main character doesn't make any friends inside and spends most of his time sitting in his cell wondering what went wrong, or getting beaten up.The story works and the plot is original and has some twists. The ending wasn't clear to me as to what it was supposed to be implying. Good but not great.
