Turton bestselling author of The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle It' s 1995 and Alex
Dean has it all: a place at Cambridge University next year the love of an amazing woman named
Holly and all the time in the world ahead of him. That is until a brutal encounter with a ghost
from his past sees him beaten battered and almost drowning in the Thames. He wakes the next
day to find he' s in a messy derelict room he' s never seen before in grimy clothes he
doesn' t recognise. A glimpse in the mirror tells him he' s older-much older-his features
ravaged by time and poor decisions. It' s 2010-fifteen years since the fight. After finally
managing to sleep Alex wakes the following morning to find it' s now 2019 another nine
years later. But the next day it' s 1999. Never knowing which day is coming he begins to
piece together what happens in his life after that fateful night. But what exactly is going
on? Why does his life look nothing like he thought it would? What about Cambridge and Holly?
In this page-turning adventure Alex must navigate his way through the years to learn that good
decisions can have untold impact. And that might be all he needs to save the people he loves
and equally importantly himself.
