A Small Town by Thomas PerryRead about another entry on the list.
Twelve inmates break out of prison and create havoc in a small town. Years later, the fugitives have yet to be found. Then Leah Hawkins, a local cop who lost a loved one, is called in to find the men and take them down; one at a time. The building tension kept me on the edge of my seat.

Although suspension of belief is required at times, this is an entertaining read with a gutsy, clever protagonist. I cheered her on until the very end.
