'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?
