Description
A chillingly plausible standalone thriller, Reconstruction by Mick Herron proves to be a gripping tale that never tells its story in the expected way. When a prisoner escapes from a transport vehicle outside Oxford, an armed and desperate man takes refuge in a preschool, holding several people hostage.
The situation is further complicated when one of the hostages, a teacher named Louise Kennedy, finds herself in the terrifying position of protecting innocent children from the adults around her. As she steels her nerves and weighs her every decision, she begins to piece together the fragments of truth from the chaos around her.
