Publisher's Synopsis
Stuck at a desk watching the same blinking lights over and over again, for years DCI Paul Garner had been sleepwalking through his job. Devoid of the passion and energy he once prided himself on, without any new adventure and with the mundanity that comes with putting the same scum back behind bars seemingly every other week, the sense that he was making a difference on the streets has long since vanished. That is, until he receives the strangest case to ever crop up on his desk in all his years on the force. Paul's hometown has never been a particularly noteworthy place, yet a series of grisly murders are set to shake up the seemingly idyllic village forever. Initially brushed aside as unconnected killings, Paul quickly comes to the conclusion that they are indeed all connected. Even worse, each murder seems to lead Garner and his team back to one key place: the porn industry. Without all of the pieces to the puzzle but an overall picture slowly forming, Garner attempts to get to the bottom of the murders and solve the case of his career. However, little does he know that his involvement in the investigation has put him right in the crosshairs of the very people he's looking for. Betrayal, murder and espionage is brought to the forefront over the brooding pages of Alan Read's epic neo-noir, Killing Time Killing. As Garner embarks on a quest to solve a seemingly cut and dry case, he finds himself caught up in a plot much more dangerous than he ever could have imagined.
