A regular weekday morning veers drastically off-course for a group of strangers whose paths cross in a London cafe - their lives never to be the same again when an apparently crazed gunman holds them hostage.

But there is more to the situation than first meets the eye and, as the captives grapple with their own inner demons, the line between right and wrong starts to blur. Will the secrets they keep stop them from escaping with their lives?

A compelling, heartfelt drama from the bestselling author of See You in September.

‘… compelling and moving …’ - New Zealand Herald

‘The narrative is as tense and well-written as any Jodi Picoult drama … a terrific suspense novel.’ - The Press
