Publisher's Summary

A regular weekday morning veers drastically off-course for a group of strangers whose paths cross in a London café - their lives never to be the same again when an apparently crazed gunman holds them hostage.

But there is more to the situation than first meets the eye, and as the captives grapple with their own inner demons, the line between right and wrong starts to blur. Will the secrets they keep stop them from escaping with their lives?

Another tense, multi-dimensional drama from the writer of the Richard & Judy best seller After the Fall.

Heartbreaking, poignant, beautiful

An emotional ride through both the very best and very worst of human behaviour. I felt so connected to these characters, didn’t want it to end and cried when it did.
Bravo Charity Norman - this is a masterpiece.

Captivating

Beautifully crafted story full of realistic characters. I couldn’t help but be drawn into Sams world and feel his emotions. One of the best stories I’ve listened to. Can’t wait to read another of this authors works.

Wonderful!

A beautiful, disturbing, complex and thoughtful story that brings out so many emotions. Incredible relationship building. Narrator was brilliant. Wonderfully well written, Charity is a superb, complex writer. This is the second of her books I've read. Delighted there are more to read!

Compelling listen - make time, clear your schedule

This story amalgamates a siege in a café by a hostile, seemingly unhinged gunman, with coercive control domestic violence back story and then incorporates a harrowing refugee survival story from the Rwandan Genocide.

Triggering at times, it brought me to tears, it warmed by heart, it chilled my bones. Enthralling listen, but clear your schedule as you won't want to switch off until the end.

What a beautiful story

Charity wrote a really moving, wondrous story. My only disappointment is the unnecessary blasphemy from one character in particular. Please remember folk who struggle with this.
