The Inmate
"The Inmate" by Freida McFadden is a gripping psychological thriller set in the dark and dangerous world of a maximum-security prison.

But Brooke has already crossed the line, hiding a shocking secret from the staff.
Years ago, Brooke's testimony helped put Shane Nelson, her high school sweetheart, behind bars for a series of brutal murders.
