The Story ***************
A prisoner of birth tells the story of Danny a mechanic who is accused and convicted of murdering his best friend, who also happens to be his fiancees brother. The only problem is that he did not do it, but all the witnesses said he did. Danny is sentenced to 22 years and sent to Belmarsh prison, lucky for Danny he finds himself under the wing of an ex army officer who has a remarkable affect on Danny's future.
To cut a long story short Danny is wrongly released early in place of the ex army officer. I will not tell you how that happens as it would spoil the story for you. Danny is now free to not only plot his revenge, but to also to have the proper murderer brought to justice.

My Views **************
Once again Jeffrey Archer has penned an intriguing story that is both clever and ensnaring. The clever use of plots and sub plots will keep you reading right to the end. You have to wonder whilst reading this book if Jeffery Archer has called upon his own experiences in prison to write this story. Jeffery Archer is a master story teller and this is no exception. The main character, Danny is a likable person and you feel for him when he truly is probably the only person in the jail that is innocent. The twists and turns in the story will keep you up late reading, not only that but most of them are believable. every now and again you read about people being released after spending many years in jail and it is then proved they were innocent, so this story is very credible. I for one think it is probably the best book by Archer since he wrote Kane and Able.

Summary: from wrong incarceration to freedom the story is clever and brilliant
