Way too many coincidences in the story. This is a story that could have begun a series, but Mr. Perry decided to cram it all in one book.
A small town in the middle of the country is dying until a new federal prison comes to town. It is initially a country club but becomes the home of the worst of the worst. One day almost the entire population of the prison escapes and terrorizes the town. Within a couple of days all but the twelve ringleaders are either killed or caught and returned to the prison.
Two years later the city council sends the chief of police on a extended sabbatical to "study methods of law enforcement", but in reality she is trying to track down the ringleaders and execute them. A good portion of the book is spent tracking down the first inmate, but after that the cons congregate together making it easy for her to kill groups of them at once.
It doesn't make sense to me to cluster together if you are trying to evade someone.
