Synopsis: "Nonstop action, real history, serious danger. You gotta read these books!" -Alan Gratz, #1 New York Times bestselling author of RefugeeMay 1962In the middle of San Francisco Bay looms Alcatraz, home to America’s most infamous prisoners. Also home to Chip Carter and his dad, who works at the high security prison. Their neighbors are former mobsters, gangsters, and murderers, but Chip finds it to be a pretty boring place to live. After all, the inmates can’t hurt him--they’re locked up in an impenetrable fortress, surrounded by unforgiving waters.Or are they?Inmate AZ1441, aka the Watcher, has a plan to break out of Alcatraz. It’s a genius plan he’s concocted along with three other inmates. Foolproof. Or so he thought until one of the guard’s kids stumbles into the middle of it.Chip is stunned. No one can break out of the Rock. Not unless they have an inside guy. Which it seems like they do ... Chip’s dad. They know Chip’s onto them, so if he wants to survive, he’s going to have to make sure these men stay locked up. But first he has to figure out who is planning the prison break and just how deep into this deadly scheme his dad is. Because given what these men have done to end up in Alcatraz, there’s no telling what they’ll do to get out.
