About the book

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

'Elegant, taut, ingeniously plotted and extremely addictive. Superb!' WILL DEAN
'Dark and compulsive ... B.A. Paris again conjures up the tense claustrophobia of BEHIND CLOSED DOORS and delivers yet another brilliant, unputdownable read' GILLY MACMILLAN
'Wow! What a ride! A tantalising, taut, tense thriller' JANE CORRY

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 love story and at its dark heart a thriller to keep you up all night.

'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
'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
'Intense and gripping, The Prisoner is suffused with intrigue and menace' EMMA HAUGHTON
'Clever, twisty and unusual' LOUISE BEECH
'Taut, suspenseful, loaded with twists and surprises, and the true definition of a just-one-more-chapter page-turner. It's another B.A. Paris triumph -- complex, compelling and absolutely impossible to resist. C.M. EWAN
'So utterly gripping I finished it in one heart-racing afternoon. Clobbered me from the first page and kept me hostage until I'd turned the last' EMMA BAMFORD
'[T]his web of fear and lies is much more complex, satisfyingly so, than Room, involving many more characters, intricate plotting, and layers of subterfuge. Paris's fans won't be disappointed and readers new to the author will be hooked' FIRST CLUE
