When he meets Belita, Urban’s mistress (and servant), it’s love at first sight, and he starts plotting to run away with her. He had a college scholarship, and was well on his way, when his brother Carl asked for his help after committing a crime, which eventually led to working for mobster Urban Covic as a driver. The chase is on, and it’s a cat-and-mouse game between Audie, Furness, Moss, and a dirty cop that did a very, very bad thing when he caught up with those heist suspects 10 years ago.Īudie was destined for a full life. Also, Audie’s cellmate, Moss, has been sprung from jail and threatened with death if he doesn’t find Palmer, but if he does, his sentence will be commuted. Meanwhile, FBI agent Desiree Furness, who had been given the cold case file on the missing money, is asked to help find Palmer. Now, he’s on the run, his face is all over the news, and he frequently must rely on the help of strangers-including a young mother and her little girl. The reasons aren’t immediately clear, but Audie is definitely on a mission. In Life or Death, Michael Robotham’s new standalone thriller, Audie Palmer-a man thought to have been involved in an armored truck heist gone wrong (and in which four people were killed and 7 million dollars went missing)-has escaped from jail, a day before he was going to be released after 10 years.
It is nominated for the Edgar Award for “Best Novel.” Life or Death by Michael Robotham is a standalone thriller about an honorable criminal, shrouded in mystery, that escapes from prison a day before his release.
