"A time travel thriller that will leave you questioning everything." — LoveReading.co.uk
THE FIRST BOOK IN THE LAWMAN TRILOGY
Joe Cartigan is a washed-up boxer in post-pandemic London. Broke, drifting, and haunted by his past, he receives a mysterious message directing him to a locker at Waterloo Station.
Inside is a watch unlike anything he has ever seen.
The device is called the Atomograph. It belongs to a covert organisation that sends operatives back through time to prevent catastrophic events before they happen.
Recruited as a Lawman, Cartigan is pulled into a hidden war across history, from Whitehall to Sarajevo to Manhattan in September 2001.
But when a rogue operative attempts to prevent the attacks on the World Trade Center, Cartigan receives an order that changes everything:
Stop him.
Because for the first time, the mission isn't to save lives.
It's to make sure three thousand people die on schedule.
