Mick Herron is the author of five successful titles. Born in Newcastle upon Tyne and a graduate of Balliol College, Oxford, he has a degree in English. A resident of Oxford, Mick works in London on future novels and writes book reviews.
An armed man takes hostages at a nursery school.
Mick Herron never tells a suspense story in the expected way, which is why his new novel, Reconstruction, reads as much like a puzzle mystery as it does a thriller. When young Jaime Segura slips into the South Oxford Nursery School and waves a gun at the teacher, cleaning lady, parent and two little boys he takes hostage, unpleasant things are bound to happen, and they dobut not until Herron has finished surprising us.
