A Prisoner of Birth

A twisted fate, and a twisted side of truth caused Danny Cartwright to be sentenced to 22 years of imprisonment on the act of murdering his best friend, Bernie Wilson. It all began when Danny chosen the wrong day, wrong time, wrong pub and wrong exit to propose to his girlfriend, Beth Wilson, sister of his best friend, to celebrate with Bernie about the engagement, to avoid a confrontation with a bunch of drunkards, which happened to be the key witnesses to the murder.

The four drunkards happened to be Spencer Craig, a lawyer, Lawrence Davenport, a popular actor, Gerald Payne, a successful broker and Toby Mortimer, an aristocrat, who were such involved in then but then whose stories managed to convince the court to sentence Danny to 22 years of jail life.

Perhaps Danny was really innocent until the prison officers decided to do him some good to place him the same cell as (Sir)Nick Moncrieff and Big Al. Things changed when Danny begin to appeal for his case and managed to get new evidence, but due to some techicalities, the new evidence cannot be presented to court.

Spencer Craig did not let go of the incident so easily and ordered an insider to clean up the job by killing Danny Cartwright. By a twisted fate, Nick was instead killed, by an open opportunity, Big Al managed to change their medical records and by luck, Danny looked almost like Nick. Their position got swapped and Danny was released earlier by imposing as Nick and lead a life as Nick.

Living as Sir Nick Moncrieff did not come easy as the family inheritance problem was hanging by the thread. Danny had to clear Nick's family matters before starting to plan for his revenge. Little by little by using Sir Nick's influence, Danny managed to get close to the actual killers and almost got them but somehow, as close as it got, Danny was caught imposing as Sir Nick and was charged in the high court.

As the court drama continued, more revelation were disclosed and the court overturned the charges on Danny. Instead the killers were caught redhanded in the court and charged as accordingly.

The reader's review:
A suspense thriller that make pages turned faster than ever.

Overall: 5.0 out of 5.0 stars
