The Inmate

From The Housemaid author and New York Times bestseller Freida McFadden comes a tense and twist-filled psychological thriller that will keep you guessing until the final page.

The most dangerous secrets are the ones that never stay buried…

Brooke Sullivan has just started a new job as a nurse practitioner at a maximum-security prison. During her orientation, she’s told to follow three non-negotiable rules:

1. Show respect to all inmates.

2. Keep your personal life private.

3. Never get too close to the prisoners.

But Brooke has already broken every rule. No one at the prison knows she has a past with Shane Nelson—a dangerous inmate with a life sentence. Years ago, Shane was the all-American golden boy, the high school quarterback—and Brooke’s first love.

Now, he’s one of the prison’s most feared inmates, convicted of brutal murders—and Brooke’s own testimony helped put him behind bars.

Shane hasn’t forgotten any of it. And as their paths cross again, long-buried truths begin to surface.

The Inmate is a fast-paced, psychological thriller about buried secrets, blurred guilt, and the high price of betrayal.
