Killing Time

He has a deadly secret. She has two hours to save her own life. Together they are killing time. A chance meeting brings Rick and Jane together, and at first their conversation at Rick’s house seems innocent. Gradually the clues to the truth assemble: it is not Rick’s house at all; he engineered their meeting; he knows all about Jane’s marriage to the violent, unsavoury Michael – and he wants Michael dead, for reasons of his own. Surprisingly, Jane is happy to collude with Rick in this plan, but then she isn’t all she originally appears to be either. By degrees, the two conspirators reveal more and more of their true identities and the crimes and violence that have linked them in the past. The encounter becomes combative; each in turn is handcuffed and threatened, each alternates between being predator and prey… twist after unexpected twist leads this clever and challenging thriller to a gripping conclusion.
