"A Prisoner of Birth" - Jeffrey Archer
A co-worker loaned me this on CD. Very entertaining. Courtroom crime thriller set in England; protagonist is a young, working-class man framed for a murder he did not commit. The author, Jeffrey Archer, draws on his own life experience in writing this novel; he is (or has been) in the law profession and spent time in prison. Summer reading; fun, often requiring suspension of disbelief. Danny, the protagonist, transforms himself while in prison, learning to read, write, speak "posh" English, dress and eat in a more high-class manner. These skills then allow him to find and trap the men who framed him for the crime in the first place.
