A train hijacking, and the story that follows

When a hijacked train forces art lecturer Claire Fitzroy to act, the immediate crisis gives way to another kind of reckoning: how her actions will be judged in court and in public. The account is framed around competing interpretations of Claire—as a hero or a vigilante—and her decision to speak about the events aboard the 10:12. The publisher description also leaves a question over whether her account is complete, placing the story’s tension in the gap between a dramatic act and the version of events that emerges afterward.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For adult readers interested in suspense built around a public act of violence and its legal and reputational aftermath.
  • For readers who enjoy stories shaped by divided public opinion and questions about how much of an account to trust.

Book overview

A twisty, high-stakes thriller in the breathless, page-turning style of Ruth Ware, Lisa Jewell, and Claire Douglas, in which nothing is as it seems and saving the day is only the beginning.

Claire Fitzroy was on the way home to London when her train from Manchester was hijacked by a group of armed men. In one terrifying moment she faced the starkest of choices: to passively stand back or act and fight back--knowing that with either choice, she could die.

With nothing to lose, the middle-aged art lecturer gathered and led a squad of passengers who, against all odds, overcame the hijackers and saved hundreds of lives. But what at first looks like heroism may play out very differently in the courts of law and public opinion. Especially when you have the blood of two men on your hands.

Opinions are heated and divided. Was she a selfless and quick-thinking hero? Or an attention-seeking vigilante and unrepentant murderer? Until now Claire has remained silent. Now, she's finally speaking out about what happened that morning on the 10:12.

But is it the whole story?
