Description

'A brilliantly clever tale about time travel gone wrong. Bold, convincing and beautifully told – I could not put this book down' – CLARE LESLIE HALL

'So impressive. It made me see London in a completely new way and brought the Blitz to life. Incredibly clever - I loved it' HARRIET TYCE

'Ellery Lloyd is one of my favourite writers. Time to Burn is a riveting time traveler thriller packed with rollicking action and epic imagination - and a smart, satirical heart' - ABIGAIL DEAN

From the author of The Club, a Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick, Time to Burn is Ellery Lloyd's compelling time travel thriller.

If the past catches up with you, time travel can be murder . . .


London, the present day: commercial time travel is a reality.

Tempus Tours – owned by controversial tech entrepreneur Inigo Frank – offers the wealthy a chance to witness pivotal moments in history.

To immortalise his achievement, Frank enlists award-winning filmmaker Phoebe Hunt to create a fly-on-the-wall documentary. On her first day shadowing Inigo, she is set to witness the return of a billionaire property developer and his family from their trip to the past. But instead of their awe-filled return, she captures the group arriving bloodied and traumatized, with one of their number missing.

Not only that, but Phoebe recognizes the missing woman, and knows not only that she’s not who she claims to be but that she has every reason to harbor a grudge against her. And as events begin to unravel in the present day, it seems increasingly clear that she had sinister motives for returning to the past - and that people close to Phoebe are in danger.

Can Phoebe stop the ripple effect before she loses everything – and everyone – she holds dear?
