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. (Cover art and text design by Sonia Tabriz, cover design by Liz Calka, and interior illustrations by Rachel Ternes.)
