- PICKED BY THE GUARDIAN AS ONE OF THE BEST RECENT CRIME AND THRILLER NOVELS 'Unreal and unforgettable' Lisa Jewell 'Genuinely blew me away' Clare Mackintosh 'Bold as hell' Gillian McAllister 'A gut punch of a novel' Jennie Godfrey If you knew you had fifty-nine minutes until everything and everyone you love would be lost forever, what would you do with that time? It's an ordinary evening. People are coming home from work, cooking dinner for their children, cuddling on sofas with their lovers. And then the message arrives, shattering everyone's worlds: Missiles are set to destroy England in fifty-nine minutes. Everyone should seek immediate shelter. 59 minutes follows the journey of three women trying to make it home to and protect their families. The journeys should be simple, but with a lost schoolchild seeking help, a teenage daughter suddenly going missing, and dangerous criminals on the prowl, there is peril at every corner. 59 Minutes is a gripping, thought-provoking and gut-wrenching thriller perfect for fans of WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME, THE CHAIN and Lisa Jewell.
