The 13th Hour - (The Nick Quinn Thriller) by Richard Doetsch (Paperback)

About the Book

Originally published in hardcover in 2009 by Atria Books.

Book Synopsis

In this original, twisty, and breakneck "modern masterpiece" (The Providence Journal), a man goes back in time to prevent the murder of his wife.

At 9 p.m., Nick Quinn is sitting in a jail cell, arrested for the murder of his wife, Mary, when he is offered an astonishing opportunity. Given a talisman by a mysterious stranger, Nick now has the ability to go back in time, one hour at a time, for a total of twelve hours.

With the chance to discover Mary's killer and even prevent her death, Nick races against the clock, only to discover that his actions in the past could have unexpected repercussions on the future. Worse, if he hasn't set things right by the thirteenth hour, all will be lost.

"If there ever was a novel that deserves to be read in one sitting, this is it. With a totally original and compelling story line, The 13th Hour" (Booklist, starred review) is an unforgettable thrill ride.

Review Quotes

"The 13th Hour explodes out of the box with pace, verve, intrigue, and an ingenious premise -- a breathless race to stop a murder that has already taken place." -- Andrew Gross

"What an innovative concept -- a thriller in reverse. Brilliantly conceived, perfectly executed. Fresh, exciting, bristling with originality. I only wish I had thought of it first." -- Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The Charlemagne Pursuit
