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, imprisoned and alone.

Why has she been taken? Who are her mysterious captors? And why does she soon feel safer here than she had begun to feel with her husband?

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.

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
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 B.A. 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
This 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

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

It's a rollercoaster ride, with plenty of twists
The Observer
Book of the Month: chilling, intense and frightening in places, you'll be left wondering what is real and what isn't

Chilling, intense and downright frightening in places
