On days when lives hang in the balance, every second counts.

The three novels in The Tick-Tock Trilogy are all told in real-time.

MIDDAY
Vincent Butler has five hours to steal eight million euro from the four bank branches he manages in Dublin's city centre.

If he doesn't – his partner of ten years, who is being held captive - will be killed.

Vincent doesn't have long. Only until midday.

...And the clock is ticking.

★★★★★
"Intense, addictive and incredibly clever"

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BETSY BLAKE?
Private investigator Lenny Moon has five hours to find the answer to a question that has plagued dying father Gordon Blake for decades: whatever happened to my Betsy?

Lenny doesn't have long to investigate… only until Gordon is put under the knife for make-or-break heart surgery.

...And the clock is ticking.

★★★★★
"One of the most gripping reads ever"

THE SUICIDE PACT
Ex-detective Helen Brennan has five hours to stop two teenage girls from ending their own lives, just as her son Scott did twenty-two years ago.

The problem is she doesn't know who the teenage girls are. Or where they are. She only knows she has until midnight to save them.

...And the clock is ticking.

★★★★★
"A heart-racing, palm-sweating, page turner"

Each of the Tick-Tock Trilogy can be read as standalones, but do comprise cross-over characters and a unique race-against-time narrative.

The Tick-Tock Trilogy is 900 pages of heart-thumping thriller drama.
