The Inmate

In Freida McFadden's chilling thriller, "The Inmate," Brooke Sullivan takes on a new role as a nurse practitioner at a maximum-security men's prison. Her position comes with three cardinal rules: respect all prisoners, never disclose personal information, and under no circumstances become friendly with inmates. However, Brooke harbors a dangerous secret that violates every single one of these directives. Unbeknownst to her colleagues, she shares a deeply disturbing past with Shane Nelson, one of the penitentiary's most infamous and dangerous residents. Shane, her high school sweetheart and star quarterback, is now serving a life sentence for a series of horrific murders. The ultimate twist of fate? It was Brooke's own damning testimony that sealed his conviction and sent him behind bars. Now, with Brooke walking the halls of the very prison where Shane is held, the past threatens to erupt. Shane remembers everything, and his memory is a weapon. As old wounds fester and new dangers emerge within the prison walls, Brooke finds herself caught in a terrifying psychological game where the line between patient and tormentor blurs, and her life, along with her secrets, hangs precariously in the balance.
