The Captives is a novel by Debra Jo Immergut. A television adaptation cannot be established simply because a screen title looks similar. This page does not compare it with a screen production because none has been identified.
Which book is this?
The author’s own description identifies prison psychologist Frank Lundquist and inmate Miranda Greene. Their previous connection creates the book’s central conflict. Use those names, together with the author, when checking an edition.
It is a psychological novel to consider for its own story. It should not be sold to someone as required viewing preparation unless a screen production explicitly names it as its source.
Before buying a supposed tie-in
Check three details: the complete screen title and year, the credited source author, and the story’s central characters. Similar wording such as Captive, The Captive or The Captives does not establish a connection.
If you want Immergut’s novel, compare print, ebook and audiobook listings using her name. If you want the book behind a different film, use the film’s credits first. Our books behind the screen directory offers identified source works rather than title-only matches.
