A murder that didn’t happen the next day. Detective Benjamin Maurice arrives for another call. A young woman was killed in one of the mansions. In the garden he finds a hairpin with a strand of hair torn out. Returning to the mansion, Maurice discovers that the house is empty, there is no corpse, no colleagues. Deciding that everyone has already left, he takes the find with him and brings it to the station in the morning. But there they laugh at the detective, not understanding what kind of murder they are talking about. Maurice already decides that he is going crazy, but suddenly the same girl he saw dead yesterday comes to the station. The mysterious Samantha Stewart asks for help: she has been receiving threatening calls all week, and she is afraid for her life. Killer Charlie Becker wakes up and realizes that the order has not been completed. He is forced to kill again... What is hidden behind all these mysteries? And will detective Maurice be able to unravel the knot in which the past and the present find themselves too connected? The Time of New Detectives series is a series that includes new names in action-packed prose. Young authors with unusual plots and twisted intrigues appear before the reader for the first time. “Laura Keighley's debut novel is a successful example of the development of the detective genre. The novel successfully combined a fast-paced plot with unexpected twists, good style and intelligent questions. “In a Time Loop” not only captivates, but also provokes thinking about the most pressing topics.” – Ekaterina Khramenkova, literary critic “When you start reading this unusual novel, you understand that with each page events are twisting from all sides faster and faster, and you are already running, rushing after the author’s thought, plunging deeper and deeper into this story... I liked it ! – Olesya @lesenka1806, book blogger
