From the author of blockbuster debut The Interpreter, comes a propulsive, edge-of-your-seat thriller that asks- can you ever free yourself from your past? For fans of Clare Mackintosh's Hostage, Adrian McKinty's The Chain and Gillian McAllister's Famous Last Words.

TEN PEOPLE WENT INTO THE MUSEUM THAT DAY. ONLY SEVEN CAME OUT...

Police officer Tia recently failed her exam to become a negotiator- her dream job. But when a peaceful climate change protest at a London museum escalates, and one of the radicalised members takes Tia and others hostage, she realises this is her chance to prove she has what it takes.

Only not everyone gets out of the siege alive.

Three years later, Asher is being released from prison for the part he played at the museum that day. He's always maintained his innocence, but when someone starts threatening the survivors, leading one of them to take their own life, Tia isn't convinced Asher is telling the whole truth. Refusing to have another death on her conscience, Tia begins to investigate.

But Tia was a hostage that day too... and now she's a target.
