Description

The extraordinary top ten Sunday Times bestseller about a school under siege.

In rural Somerset, in the middle of a blizzard, the unthinkable happens—a school is under siege.

Told from the point of view of the people at the heart of it, from the wounded headmaster in the library, unable to help his trapped pupils and staff, to teenage Hannah in love for the first time, to the parents gathering desperate for news, to the 16-year-old Syrian refugee trying to rescue his little brother, to the pregnant police psychologist who must identify the gunmen, to the students taking refuge in the school theatre—all experience the most intense hours of their lives, where evil and terror are met by courage, love and redemption.

Three Hours is a compelling and gripping narrative that delves into the strength of humanity and the triumph of good over evil.
