Synopsis

'Grips like a python' DAILY MAIL
'A white-knuckle read that also provides food for thought' GUARDIAN
'A twisty, propulsive thrill-ride, and a hero who will keep surprising you' SAM BECKBESSINGER

Claire's life changed forever one ordinary morning, on an ordinary train journey.

Her actions that day 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?

'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

The 10:12 is the perfect page-turning read for fans of Sarah Vaughan, Catherine Ryan Howard and Ava Glass that asks: how far would you go for the greater good?
