Dead men Running Joel Lee

The year is 1989, and the Cedar Mountain Six have just pulled off the impossible-a mass Death Row prison escape. Now they are on the run, and Officer Jack Spencer is the first responder. Stuck in a dead-end life and contemplating suicide, the Six's escape is exactly what Jack needs-a real chance to finally be the hero he always thought he would become. Ray Parker is the brains behind the daring escape. A good man who made a terrible choice that put him on Death Row, Ray now finds himself on the run with slow-talking country boy Delroy Swann. Facing the threat of capture at every turn, the duo embarks on a run for the border, desperately trying to stay one step ahead of The Law. Haunted by his past crime and the family he had to leave behind, Ray must constantly choose between what is right and what he must do to survive as he makes his way through rural America. Meanwhile, Jack Spencer's obsession with capturing the fugitives makes him a wanted man in his own right as he strays far beyond his jurisdiction and continues the chase from state to state. Will Ray make it to the border and begin a new life? Can Jack catch him before it's too late and earn the recognition and redemption he craves? The chase is on, and only one man can win.
