Blurb (from back cover): "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?

"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 fiancee Beth will go in pursuit of justice."

Opinion: First book that I've read by Archer and it was pretty interesting. Wasn't sure how Danny's antics would get the revenge that he wanted but in the end it was nicely tied up. Might seek some other Archer books.
