What chance does an honest mechanic have when his accusers are four of society’s most respected men?

In A Prisoner of Birth, Jeffrey Archer delivers a masterful modern retelling of The Count of Monte Cristo. Danny Cartwright’s life is shattered when he is framed for the murder of his best friend. His word is pitted against four prosecution witnesses: a barrister, an actor, an aristocrat, and a rising business star. Who would the jury believe?

Sentenced to twenty-two years in the high-security Belmarsh prison, Danny seems doomed. But his accusers underestimate his resolve and the relentless love of his fiancée, Beth. What follows is a brilliant game of cat-and-mouse as Danny plots a meticulous revenge to clear his name and destroy the men who stole his life. It is a story of justice, redemption, and a twist ending that shocks even the most ardent fans.
