| A Prisoner of Birth | comment |
Danny Cartwright, along with his fiancee and her brother, go to a bar. The brother is murdered by a lawyer, who—along with his friends (a group which calls themselves The Musketeers and ironically are fans of Alexandre Dumas's works)—frame Danny. In prison, he shares his cell with an Identical Stranger named Nick Moncrieff, who educates him well enough that—after the Nick is killed, Danny is able to impersonate him convincingly. Once out of prison, Danny gets his revenge on the lawyer and his friends, who end up discovering his real identity. Will he succeed in getting true justice this time? | |

I Never Said It Was Poison | |
| A Prisoner of Birth / int_4aaffbd5 | comment |
I Never Said It Was Poison: What ultimately convinces the judge in the second trial about the Miscarriage of Justice in the first, is the killer's knowledge of a scar on Danny's knee, which the killer bad also inflicted and was not mentioned even once in any material about the murder. | |

Prison Rape | |
| A Prisoner of Birth / int_758c3034 | comment |
Prison Rape: In the earlier chapters, gang rape is referenced as the usual fate for gay prisoners... usually followed by being ripped limb from limb. One gay character we meet is only spared from this because good barbers are difficult to come by. And one of the guys the main character gets his revenge on for falsely incriminating him — a slightly Camp Gay soap opera actor — implicitly has prison rape to look forward to as part of his karmic comeuppance. | |

Whole-Plot Reference | |
| A Prisoner of Birth / int_e303d198 | comment |
Whole-Plot Reference: This book is this to The Count of Monte Cristo. This is lampshaded by various characters being admirers of the work of Alexandre Dumas. Archer's not the only British author to have done this; see also Stephen Fry's The Stars' Tennis Balls. | |

Identical Stranger | |
| A Prisoner of Birth / int_f27ec906 | comment |
Identical Stranger: Danny Cartwright and Sir Nicholas Moncrieff, to the extent that when Nicholas is killed in prison, his body is mistaken for that of Danny — who gets to go free as Nicholas when the latter's sentence finishes shortly after. Danny then uses Nicholas's wealth to revenge himself upon the people who set him up. | |
