Description du livre
'Some thrillers thrill, but 59 Minutes will change the way you think about humanity. Universal, challenging, and bold as hell: it's going to take over the world.' Gillian McAllister
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.

'I grew up in the 80s with constant nuclear war fear and used to run home from school to make sure I'd be able to make it home if the warning ever went off... I inhaled this book within 24 hours and absolutely loved it... Seddon's writing is so brilliant... 59 Minutes is smart and scary, gripping and heartbreaking. I hope it's going to be huge.'
