About this book
Reconstruction (2008, 304 pages) is Mick Herron's first true standalone: a gunman takes a South Oxford nursery school hostage, and what looks at first like a straightforward siege thriller unspools into a puzzle about a botched intelligence operation and a missing MI6 contact, with Herron's characteristic refusal to resolve things the expected way.
