Alex has been thrown in jail for the murder of his best friend. The trial is a joke with an evil punch line, Furnace. Furnace is the world’s first underground juvenile detention center. You only get sent there if you get a life sentence, because no one ever gets out. Furnace is hundreds of miles below the earth, carved out of solid rock. It’s guarded by grotesque creatures with gas masks sewn to their faces, hell hounds without any skin, and linebacker sized men in identical black suits.
Furnace seems like a fitting place for murders to live out their days, but there’s just one problem…About half of the inmates are innocent, including Alex.
The book gives a different perspective on bullying. We see things from the point of view of someone who is a juvenile delinquent, but is not a killer. It’s a realistic look at prisons and the juvenile crime culture, but with a demonic twist that will have you racing to turn the next page.
