Dalla quarta di copertina:

International bestseller and master storyteller Jeffrey Archer is at the top of his game in this story of fate and fortune, redemption and revenge...

"Archer plots with skill, and keeps you turning the pages." —The Boston Globe

If Danny Cartwright had proposed to Beth Wilson on any other day, he would not have been arrested and charged with the murder of his best friend. But when the prosecution witnesses happen to be a group of four upper-crust college friends—a barrister, a popular actor, an aristocrat, and the youngest partner in an established firm's history—who is going to believe Danny's side of the story?

"Thoroughly enjoyable."—Publishers Weekly

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. But Spencer Craig, Lawrence Davenport, Gerald Payne, and Toby Mortimer all underestimate Danny's determination to seek revenge—and the extent to which his fiancée Beth will go in pursuit of justice.

"Dynamite...plot twists and a slam-bang finale."—The Washington Post
