Synopsis

'The only bad part of a Jodi Taylor book is finishing it' ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐ 'Fabulous writing, laugh-out-loud and gasp-in-horror from one page to another' ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐ 'Just when I think these stories can't get any more amazing...' ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐ 'I am going to read it again after I get my breath back' ⭐ ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐ The nail-bitingly tense, rib-crackingly funny new TIME POLICE mission from the million-copy bestselling author of THE CHRONICLES OF ST MARY'S. The Time Police don't think twice about jumping to the past. But, this time, the past has come to them... What connects a dead dinosaur in Wales with Romulus the founder of Rome, a plot to murder the Princes in the Tower and a shocking cover-up at TPHQ? It sounds like a joke. It isn't. The Time Police are determined to find the answers, helped - and occasionally hindered - by a certain wayward member of St Mary's and a recently reunited Team 236. Will they succeed before Time runs out? And, as if all that wasn't enough, something somewhere in the Timeline is wrong. Very, very wrong. What is the Time Map trying to tell them? BOOK 6 IN THE TIME POLICE SERIES. FOR FANS OF TERRY PRATCHETT, RICHARD OSMAN AND DOCTOR WHO 'Jodi Taylor is quite simply the Queen of Time' C. K. MCDONNELL
