The Prisoner

Hardback

The bestselling Richard and Judy Book Club pick for 2023

Secrets. Suspicion. Survival. No one writes relationships better than B.A. PARIS

'A rollercoaster ride, with plenty of twists' OBSERVER

'The explosive start of this book sets up a compelling plot [...] written in well-executed super-edgy, short, sharp chapters and the description of her confinement is full of claustrophobic detail and menace' DAILY MAIL

'Paris skilfully stitches together domestic noir with a kidnap thriller and the result is a gripping read' DAILY EXPRESS

'Dark, immersive, and mysterious ... locks you quickly into its claustrophobic grip and doesn't let up till the last page' LOUISE CANDLISH

THEN

Amelie has always been a survivor, from losing her parents as a child in Paris to making it on her own in London. As she builds a career for herself in the magazine industry, she meets, and agrees to marry, Ned Hawthorne.

NOW

Amelie wakes up in a pitch-black room, not knowing where she is. Why has she been taken? Who are her mysterious captors? And why does she soon feel safer here, imprisoned, than she had begun to feel with her husband Ned?

In true B.A. Paris style, The Prisoner is a gripping survival story, a twisted tale of love and at its dark heart a thriller to keep you up all night.

'Claustrophobic, menacing and relentlessly tense, this is a fiendishly plotted thriller with a great central twist' SARAH VAUGHAN

'I loved the short chapters in part one, which really added to the rising tension. You will be rooting for Amelie!' PRIMA

'Dark, daring and irresistible. B.A. Paris takes a clever, sinister survival story and further elevates it with her trademark style and heart. Truly impossible to put down' CHRIS WHITAKER

'Wow! What a ride! A tantalising, taut, tense thriller' JANE CORRY

'Pacy, gripping from the get-go, and with so many twists! I felt so strongly for Amelie and was rooting for her the entire book. The Prisoner is a brilliant addition to BA Paris's stella stable of thrillers' L.V. MATTHEWS
