In this fast-paced time-travel thriller starring a compelling female character, Alex’s power as a spinner—a teen who can rewind time to help solve crimes—is suddenly in question.
At sixteen, the dreaded time sickness that causes all spinners to die early strikes Alex. If she can’t be restabilized, she’ll live out the rest of her short life at the Center, where spinners are confined from birth, doing menial chores rather than completing missions with her partner, Agent Ross. When she’s offered an experimental treatment, Alex sees a future for herself for the first time. But the medication offers more than a promise—it also brings dire consequences. What if she lives longer but loses her mind? A strong heroine, Alex propels this high-stakes suspense novel to a thrilling conclusion that begs for a sequel. Readers will eagerly await book two in the planned trilogy.
