If Keene wants to remain undetected, he has to keep a low profile no matter how big his fears are. As soon as he is transferred to prison, his plans are suddenly turned upside down. He doesn’t know how to fulfil the fed’s expectations, but he agrees, despite the risk of getting busted before obtaining the confession.
This book reveals more than I had first expected, more than just an account of prison life. The author offers complete insight into the case, from different sides and all the people involved. You even get information about the victims themselves, neither background information about Hall and Keene was forgotten. I found the psychological opinion also very interesting.
Because I am not able to see the show Black Bird on TV, I found the book a nice substitute. It’s very personally written, the fear that Keene must have felt is reflected in the words.
