Bookseller recommendation

“Imagine being kidnapped and locked in total darkness for days and days. How Amelie acts during this time – her thoughts, her flashbacks, and her observations as well as her attempts to escape are a good portion of the book. The vivid description of what she is going through literally kept me on the edge of my seat. I did figure out one small part of what was going on, but I had no idea why or how things all fit together. I thought this was one of Paris’ best books to date.”
— Nancy • Fiction Addiction

Summary
About the author

With Behind Closed Doors, New York Times bestselling author B. A. Paris took the psychological thriller to shocking new heights. Now she’ll hold you captive with THE PRISONER—a stunning new thriller about one woman wed into a family with deadly intentions.

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 life for herself, she is swept up into a glamorous lifestyle where she married the handsome billionaire Ned Hawthorne.

But then, 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 the vein of Behind Closed Doors and The Therapist, multimillion-copy bestseller B. A. Paris is back with a gripping new suspense novel.

A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
