Prisoner

Prisoner by Ross Greenwood
Unrated

A shocking thriller inspired by the true stories of a male prison officer in a women’s prison.

Behind bars, the rules are different…

Prison Officer Jim Dalton is used to walking the landings on the male side of HMP Peterborough. It’s a dangerous place, fuelled by testosterone-driven violence, but he’s done the job for a long time. He understands the unwritten rules, and he has the prisoners’ respect.

When a relative is sent to the jail, Dalton is transferred to the female side of the prison. His next shift is so easy, he can’t believe that the officers over there get paid the same wages. He sleeps well for the first time in years.

But when he is assigned to the young offenders’ wing, dealing with female prisoners no longer seems so simple. As every day passes, and he gets to know the women better, he is slowly drawn in to new temptations, new traps and a new nightmare. One which could destroy everything.

I've written 22 books in eleven years (even I can do that maths). They're a range of suspense novels, police procedural and psychological thrillers. My detective series starring DI John Barton starts with The Snow Killer and has sold half a million copies, and my Norfolk Murders series with DI Ashley Knight begins with her battling to catch a serial killer in Death on Cromer Beach.

I was born in 1973 in Peterborough and lived there until I was 20, attending The King's School in the city. I then began a rather nomadic existence, living and working all over the country and various parts of the world.

I found myself returning to Peterborough many times over the years, usually when things had gone wrong. It was on one of these occasions that I met my partner about 100 metres from my back door whilst walking a dog. Two children swiftly followed. I'm still a little stunned by the pace of it even though they're both at senior school now.

My first book, Chancer, was written after I decided to do something challenging while my knees permitted. No skydiving for me. I became a prison officer for four years at HMP Peterborough. Ironically it was the four a.m. feed which gave me the opportunity to finish the book as unable to get back to sleep I completed it in the early morning hours, then went to work in the jail!

The first Barton book, The Snow Killer hit the coveted number one spot on KOBO and AUDIBLE, with the rest of the series not far behind. It's set in various locations in the 'Boro, or the surrounding villages.

I've also written six detective books in a Norfolk series now, culminating in Death on the Norfolk Express! There have also been incidents at Cromer, Hunstanton, Bacton, Overstrand, Fakenham, Holt and Sheringham. There are three more planned, perhaps Wells or maybe one in Norwich, and at least one more Barton! My publishers kindly told me I had reached three quarters of a million sales with them in Dec 2025.
