Review:
Prisoner of Birth contains more ups and downs than a roller coaster, leaving the reader to breathlessly await the next page. Danny Cartwright, the West End mechanic sentenced to 22 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, is befriended by his two cellmates at London's Belmarsh prison who are determined to see him vindicated. It is through the ultimate sacrifice of one of these men that Danny is able to pursue revenge against the guilty parties in ways he'd never imagined. Eventually, Danny finds himself back in court and the verdict is shocking. Prisoner of Birth is Archer's finest to date, destined to become a classic in the suspense genre.
