Solidly entertaining, well-written story by Marvin H. Albert, writing under his Albert Conroy pseudonym. Eddie Driscoll, convicted for bank robbery and attempted murder, is broken out of a rather lax prison and finds himself caught up in a gambling magnate's plans to kill the Governor who has started to bust up his businesses around the state. Driscoll is the perfect candidate since he threatened to kill the Governor, who was the DA who sent him to prison the last time for a crime he actually didn't commit. It would be nice to think that this Driscoll is really the same Driscoll who turns up 15 years or so later in Driscoll's Diamonds, a superb book Albert wrote under another of his pseudonyms, but that Driscoll is John, and this one is Eddie. Still--one never knows. ( )
