The long chase

"Behind the hard stone and solid bars of prison, a man needs something to hold on to. Tom Keene had hope. He lied and fought and lived like an animal through the long bitter years. And all the time he hoped and prayed that no man, no beast, or act of the Almighty would kill the miserable cur who sent him away. Because Keene was going to gun him down personally. And it didn't matter who stood in his way-or who had to die." --
