About this title

Synopsis

The final volume of Jeffrey Archer's prison diaries covers the period of his transfer from Wayland to his eventual release on parole in July 2003. It includes a shocking account of the traumatic time he spent in the notorious Lincoln jail and the events that led to his incarceration there - it also throws light on a system that is close to breaking point. Told with humour, compassion and honesty, it closes with a thought-provoking manifesto that should be applauded by the Establishment and prison population alike.

From the Back Cover

Praise for Jeffrey Archer:

"The books form the most detailed and illuminating account of life spent under lock and key since Dostoyevsky."
---Mail on Sunday (UK)

"Compelling reading. . . . Archer knows how to tell a story. He exposes real problems in the penal system."
---Houston Chronicle on A Prison Diary

"A tale that is not only important but true."
---The Washington Post on A Prison Diary

"The finest thing that he's ever written . . . so clear and crisp is the prose, a vivid and almost ‘live' account that bubbles with Dickensian detail and a Shavian sense of outrage.... Riveting."
---Independent on Sunday (UK) on A Prison Diary

"Surprisingly effective . . . a devastating critique . . . written simply and directly."
---Sunday Times (UK) on A Prison Diary

"False Impression...may be a worthy successor to the still bestselling The Da Vinci Code....Sail along from one high crime to the next."
---Liz Smith, The New York Post

"Archer's usual plot twists and fast pace make for an enjoyable page-turner."
---Library Journal (starred review) on False Impression
