Being a black lesbian prison investigator ain’t easy. Ask Lieutenant Perri Stone.<\/p>\n

Between the rape of a prisoner at the maximum-security Dexter Correctional Facility and her home life exploding, she can’t catch a break in INSIDE OUT<\/em><\/strong>, the first in the Perri Stone series by Juin Charnell.<\/p>\n

In addition to the rape, Perri also has to figure out why her inmates are being murdered. Of course, the convicts aren’t talking, and a couple of the officers are proving their incompetence. Perri’s worked in this system for 12 years, enough to know who to trust. Back then, as a 5’4”, Afro-wearing, 20-year-old officer, she gained the respect of the male prisoners and fellow employees alike by taking her licks and not being afraid to get dirty. Now at 32, there wasn’t much you could get past Perri Stone.<\/p>\n

Her homelife, though, is a different ball of wax. Perri’s partner, Cassidy, is somewhat in the closet, and on top of that, has issues with her ex-husband who is determined to kidnap their daughter because of her relationship with Perri. It also doesn’t help that Cassidy’s mother meddles in their affairs.<\/p>\n

Through it all, Perri stays cool as a cucumber; it seems nothing fazes her. It’s part of her charm \u2013 and what makes Inside Out<\/em> interesting.<\/p>\n

Charnell herself is a 10-year veteran in Corrections, writing Inside Out<\/em> with authority and no-nonsense flair. Based on her novel’s realistic and gritty view of prison life, I’m motivated to read the sequel, Quiet Riot<\/em>.<\/p>\n

You will be, too.<\/p>\n
