Archer's own experiences in prison give a depth and sense of reality to this fast paced thriller. If Danny had proposed to Beth one day before or one after, he would not have been charged with the murder of her brother, his best friend. Innocent, sentenced to 22 years, he is sent to Belmarsh prison, from where no-one had ever escaped. How he did so, his quest for rehabilitation and revenge makes for brilliant entertainment.
