Wrong Place Wrong Time

How do you stop a murder when it’s already happened?

Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

CAN YOU STOP A MURDER WHEN IT'S ALREADY HAPPENED?


THE BOOK EVERYONE HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT


It's every parent's nightmare.

Your happy, funny, innocent son commits a terrible crime: murdering a complete stranger.

You don't know who. You don't know why. You only know your teenage boy is in custody and his future lost.

That night you fall asleep in despair. Until you wake . . .

. . . and it is yesterday.

Every morning you wake up a day earlier, another day before the murder. Another chance to stop it.

Somewhere in the past lie the answers, and you don't have a choice but to find them . . .

Reviews

  • A spellbinding "whydunnit" . . . A novel with a difference. Richly layered, it makes other psychological thrillers seem thin and unimaginative
    SUNDAY TIMES 'THRILLER OF THE YEAR'
