What to expect

Bloomsbury presents The 10:12 by Anna Maloney, read by Elaine Claxton, Sarah Thom, Maxim Reston and Dane Williams.

'Thought-provoking and thoroughly compelling' B P WALTER, bestselling author of THE DINNER PARTY
'An excellent twist ... a tribute to tough post-menopausal women everywhere' LITERARY REVIEW
'A twisty, propulsive thrill-ride, and a hero who will keep surprising you' SAM BECKBESSINGER

Claire Fitzroy was just trying to get home when her train from Manchester to London was hijacked by a group of armed men. In one terrifying moment she faced the starkest of choices: to stand back. To fight back. And maybe to die either way.

Claire chose to fight back, and in doing so saved hundreds of lives. But what looks like heroism in the heat of the moment can play out very differently in the courts and the eyes of the public. Especially when you have the blood of two men on your hands.

Selfless and quick-thinking. Attention-seeking vigilante. Unrepentant murderer. Whichever she is, this is Claire's story of what happened that day.

But is it the whole story?

A breathtaking thriller where nothing is as it seems and saving the day is only the beginning, The 10:12 is the perfect read for fans of Sarah Vaughan, Catherine Ryan Howard and Ava Glass.

The story has an excellent twist and is a tribute to tough post-menopausal women everywhere
