'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
'A twisty, propulsive thrill-ride, and a hero who will keep surprising you' SAM BECKBESSINGER

Claire Fitzroy was just trying to get home when her train from Manchester to London was hijacked by a group of armed men. In one terrifying moment she faced the starkest of choices: to stand back. To fight back. And maybe to die either way.

Claire chose to fight back, and in doing so 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?

A breathtaking thriller where nothing is as it seems and saving the day is only the beginning, The 10:12 is the perfect read for fans of Sarah Vaughan, Catherine Ryan Howard and Ava Glass. ©2026 Anna Maloney (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Reviews

Gripping and immersive, this salutary tale of how we stereotype and underestimate others is a white-knuckle read that also gives food for thought
Grips like a python
A morally knotty thriller about public judgement and the stories we tell about who deserves to be believed
A chilling, thought-provoking and thoroughly compelling thriller. The vivid characters and tense “what would you do?” concept make this a propulsive read (B P Walter)
A twisty, propulsive thrill-ride, and a hero who will keep surprising you (Sam Beckbessinger, author of forthcoming Femme Feral)
Taut, clever and unrelenting. Once this train leaves the station, you won’t want to get off (Boris Starling, author of Messiah)
The story has an excellent twist and is a tribute to tough post-menopausal women everywhere
