About the Book

Why would a man serving a long prison sentence escape the day before he's due to be released? Audie Palmer has spent ten years in a Texas prison after pleading guilty to a robbery in which four people died and seven million dollars went missing. During that time he has suffered repeated beatings, stabbings and threats by inmates and guards, all desperate to answer the same question: where's the money? On the day before Audie is due to be released, he suddenly vanishes. Now everybody is searching for him -- the police, FBI, gangsters and other powerful figures -- but Audie isn't running to save his own life. Instead, he's trying to save someone else's. Michael Robotham has created the ultimate underdog hero, an honorable criminal shrouded in mystery and ready to lead readers on a remarkable chase.

Review :
[A] prison-break tale with a twist . . . The writing is top-notch . . . Plenty of edge-of-the-seat excitement, forcing readers to frantically turn the pages to find out how all these different strands intersect. Robotham's skill as a writer remains undeniable: He offers memorable characters caught up in an irresistible story.-- "Kirkus Reviews" A pitch perfect plot with a stunning twist that involves a sheep in wolf's clothing. Talk about topsy turvy --- but it works --- big time.-- "Steve Berry, author of The Lincoln Myth and The Jefferson Key" Michael Robotham is the real deal.-- "David Baldacci" Robotham creates fascinating characters and gives them wonderful dialogue.-- "Harry Levins, St. Louis Post-Dispatch" Robotham has a talent for creating fascinating and complex characters, and Audie Palmer may be his best yet.-- "Booklist (starred review)" Robotham is a first-class storyteller.-- "Associated Press" "Life or Death is a nerve-shredding thriller with the heart and soul so often missing from lesser crime and suspense novels. I couldn't stop reading, yet I didn't want Audie's story to end." -- "Stephen King, #1 New York Times bestselling author" "An absolutely compelling story, with suspense ratcheting up to a deadly confrontation, combined with a deeply moving love story...Don't miss this one." -- "Library Journal (starred review)" "Highly original...In a preface Robotham tells us this is 'the book that I was meant to write.' He could be right." -- "Literary Review" "John Chancer's narration skills keep the bullets whizzing in this on-the-run audiobook thriller. Chancer's modulation and timing add vocal drama to the action--whether it's a prison break, hand-to-hand combat, a shoot-out, or someone being smacked with a shovel...The production is paced so that each cliff-hanger unravels just as the next one is revealed, guaranteeing that you won't hit the pause button until the full story is told." -- "AudioFile" "One of the best thrillers you will read this year." -- "Financial Times (London)" "Superbly exciting thriller...Beautifully written and full of poignancy." -- "Sunday Mirror (UK)" Life or Death is a nerve-shredding thriller with the heart and soul so often missing from lesser crime and suspense novels. I couldn't stop reading, yet I didn't want Audie's story to end. Robotham is an absolute master.-- "Stephen King" I love this guy's books. Try Life or Death and you'll see why.-- "Lee Child"
