International bestseller and master storyteller Jeffrey Archer is at the very top of his game in a story of fate and fortune, redemption and revenge. 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. But 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 your side of the story?
Danny is sentenced to twenty-two years and sent to Belmarsh prison, the highest-security jail in the land, from where no inmate has ever escaped.
However, Spencer Craig, Lawrence Davenport, Gerald Payne, and Toby Mortimer all underestimate Danny’s determination to seek revenge, and Beth’s relentless quest to pursue justice, which ends up with all four fighting for their lives,
Thus begins Jeffrey Archer’s most powerful novel since “Kane and Abel, ” with a cast of characters that will remain with you long after you’ve turned the last page.
And if that is not enough, prepare for an ending that will shock even the most ardent of Archer’s fans.

Really good
A brilliant story that takes place between different countries, with an accelerated pulse of the heart, combines legal drama with real estate sophistication and tension, written in an understandable and precise way.
From the beginning, the reader feels part of the book and wants to help the hero prove the truth.
It highly recommended for all types …
It may be that Jeffrey Archer fabricates details about himself, but when it comes to writing a thriller, he is a master.
This is one of the best books I read recently. It Described in detail – sometimes to exaggeration (but it is unforgivable). This book is not tiring, it’s rhythmic and tense, causes sink into the plot of the book and forget …

Wonderful tale! Very captivating! I highly recommend it. I’m not even a big fan of court room drama, but this is so much more and kept me interested!
A updated retelling of the count of monte Cristo
Classic Jeffrey Archer. He is predictable and that is what I like about reading his books. That and the descriptions of places in England and Scotland.
