Miller's Revenge Robert Johnson

Miller's Revenge is a novel about a prison homicide written by criminologist Robert Johnson. The main character is Robert Miller, a detective who describes himself as "a murder cop, detailed from the inner city of Baltimore to the cell blocks of the state penitentiary. That's my beat-the prison, the pen, the house, call it what you like. Just be glad you're not there. You might not live to tell about it." Miller's observations and interrogations offer a telling commentary on prison violence, prison culture, and the meaning of justice in the closed and often brutal world of the prison.
