A classic song by Chicago asked, "Does anybody really know what time it is?" Time has almost run out for David Standell and Valerie Lott, two strangers in career crisis, asking themselves "does anybody really care?" What's at stake is more than just their happiness, though. Set in volatile Dubai, and in the recently tragic Tucson which inspired Jonathan Lowe's award-winning suspense novel "Postmarked for Death," here is the story of an optics engineer and a TV producer who don't know each other yet, or themselves. Told in two parts, it moves from David's confronting the greedy televangelist who bankrupted his recently deceased mother---even as drone military aircraft begin crashing into the skyscrapers of the city to which Ted Cashman has escaped---to another desert where Val has just witnessed her boyfriend with another woman. . . and also a girl about to be murdered. Yet fate has a twist, and quantum physics an uncertainty principle leading to a profound entanglement. Inspired by "The Power of Now," this unique novel is both literate and gripping, with an ending that can never be forgotten.
Jonathan Lowe has published widely in magazines, from Arizona Highways to Sky & Telescope, with awards from the SC Fiction Project and Writer's Digest. Author of four previous novels, he has seen both stage and radio plays produced, in addition to a short film on Mozart. Clive Cussler called his first novel "a class performance, powerful and accomplished. . . mystery at its best." A bachelor, he lives in Tucson AZ and Greenville SC.
