2000s: A locked room mystery set in a prison
Cara Lockhart has just commenced a life sentence in HMP North Fern – the newest maximum security women’s prison in the country. She was convicted of a crime she is adamant she didn’t commit.
One morning she wakes up to find her cellmate murdered – shot in the head with a gun that is missing. The door was locked all night, which makes Cara the only suspect.
Cara needs to clear her name, unravelling an impossible case, with an investigation governed by a prison timetable. But as Cara starts to learn more about North Fern and the predicament she is in, she finds connections between the past and present that she never could have imagined.
Indeed it seems that her conviction and her current situation might be linked in very strange ways…
New Hall Prison for woman is of course fictional but the prison could be anywhere in England. the location of the prison is not important – it’s the setting of the prison itself that is the key.
North Fern is a very high tech prison. There are some very strange things goings on here. Very strange. This is not like any other prison you will ever have heard about, read about or maybe visited.
Once you are in, you never get out…
