If Danny Cartwright had proposed to Beth Wilson the day before, or the day after, he would not have been arrested and charged with the murder of his best friend.

And when the four prosecution witnesses are a barrister, a popular actor, an aristocrat and the youngest partner in an established firm's history, who is going to believe his side of the story.

Danny is sentenced to twenty-two years and is sent to Belmarsh prison, the highest security jail in the land, from where no inmate has ever escaped.

But everyone has underestimated Danny's determination to seek revenge and Beth's relentless quest to win justice . . .

With a twisting plot of false accusation and revenge, A Prisoner of Birth is an exhilarating novel from bestselling author, Jeffrey Archer.

Didnt expect this to be any good as im not too keen on Jeffrey Archer, but it was a really good story! Would definitely recommend this one. Im now going to look for other books by him

Very good!

A good plot, as are all Archer's books, but spoiled by the poor quality of his writing. The dull, monotonous delivery of the narrator did little to drive it along. All in all - disappointing.

My first Jeffrey Archer book. The basic idea of the plot was good (if a bit far-fetched) and the detail seemed well researched. However, the narration was plodding which made the whole thing drag though I hung on to the end. The overall impression was that it was aimed at a juvenile audience.

Disappointing
