Description

What would you pay for a short re-wind?

Tom Booker is a new attorney at a powerful Washington law firm. Texting while driving across Memorial Bridge, he loses control and crashes into an oncoming minivan carrying his own daughter and three of her friends. The minivan tips up on two wheels, about to flip over into the Potomac. Time freezes, he's alone on the bridge. A young couple approaches and offers him a re-wind. The crash would be averted, the children saved. All he must do is kill someone every two weeks—anyone—for a soul exchange. A moment later, Tom is back in his spinning car, but averts the deadly crash. He laughs about the hallucination, attributing it to bumping his head on the steering wheel when his car came to an abrupt stop. But his encounter wasn't a hallucination. Two weeks later, the minivan driver is brutally murdered. Tom receives a text: one down, four to go. He has never shot, much less owned, a gun in his life, but now he must turn himself into a serial killer or his daughter and her friends will die.

Advance Praise

“One To Go by Mike Pace spins out a fascinating premise—what if a hideous mistake in life could be rewound?—into a ripping good novel, with a mix of tight plotting, explosive excitement, and vivid characters. Highly recommended.”

—Douglas Preston, #1 best-selling co-creator of the Pendergast series of novels

“— a ripping good novel, with a mix of tight plotting, explosive excitement, and vivid characters.”

—Douglas Preston, New York Times best-selling author

“Law & Order meets The Exorcist! This entertaining and original chiller will lead you along one surprising twist and turn after another. Read this creepy page-turner with all the lights on!”

—Hank Phillippi Ryan, Anthony, Agatha, Macavity and Mary Higgins Clark award winning author

"A terrific mix of murder and mayhem, with a clever woo-woo twist that will keep you on your toes. Definitely worth the price of admission."

—Steve Berry, New York Times best-selling author of King’s Deception

“Riveting in suspense, One to Go by Mike Pace is a pulse-pounding journey from Washington, D.C.’s most influential backrooms and courtrooms into its most dangerous neighborhoods. When attorney Tom Booker discovers his family is being threatened by two of Satan’s most effective angels of death, Booker digs deep to find a slice of morality on which to stand and do battle. With a supporting cast of memorable characters buttressed by muscular prose, One to Go is a devilishly clever tale, one you won’t want to miss. “

— Gayle Lynds, New York Times best-selling author of The Book of Spies

"The blisteringly original One to Go is one of those rare books that bends genres as it poses one of those rare What If? questions you've never seen before. Mike Pace has fashioned a relentlessly suspenseful, gut-wrenching tale that's both homage to the classic Twilight Zone and a kind of post-modern take on early Stephen King with a wildly imaginative concept realized to the fullest. A book that promises a lot but makes good on every page in this absolutely stellar debut."

—Jon Land, best-selling author of Strong Darkness
