Description

A fast-paced and gripping thriller with an intriguing twist in its tail! When a mysterious gunman takes a class hostage, the rest of Mia's school is evacuated. But Mia is determined to stay behind. She knows it's a life or death situation but there's something she fears more than dying. Mia thinks she might know who the gunman is, and, if she's right, then she may be the only one who can save her schoolmates...

Reviews

From the arresting title to the final chapter, Dhami propels the reader into a world of uncertainty and intrigue, as she dares to imagine the unthinkable . . . With a final twist in the tale, this psychological thriller sensitively explores issues that surround mental health while delivering a page-turning read * Waterstone's Books Quarterly *
The author builds the tension superbly and the reader feels as if they are inching their way along the school corridor towards classroom 9D and the gunman . . . The ending is completely unexpected and rather a shock * Inis *
Dhami produces an electrifying twist that leaves the reader reeling. Brilliant * Carousel *
Easy to read and continually gripping, this is a fine contribution from an already prolific author * Books For Keeps *
Edge-of-the-seat drama with an ingenious twist * Writing Magazine *
