CHARACTER-RICH ADVENTURE, WITH A GENEROUS SERVING OF GORGEOUS ESCAPISM

Travelling through time, a broken young man finds his feet but loses his heart... 

Badly beaten Australian rookie ex-cop, Michael Harker, is determined to reinvent himself as a crime fighter. Convalescing with the irrepressible, kooky bibliophile, Mari Linden, Mike continues his struggle for health and self-respect. 

When all seems lost, a time portal in Mari's bookshop throws him into the past, where he's rescued and employed by J.T. Gordon, the magnanimous impresario of The Palace of the Stars, a grand Victorian-era theatre. 

Battling strange shifts in consciousness, restrictive dress standards, and the strict morals of the time, Mike falls for Palace dancer and stage magician, Mae Belle, who begs him to solve a series of gruesome murders. 

Meanwhile, Mari fights to save her beloved bookshop; if it's condemned, Mike will never be able to return. 

For Mike, love is running deep, and time is running out. 

Welcome to The Palace. You're in for a treat!
