Description
'Jodi Taylor is quite simply the Queen of Time' C. K. MCDONNELL
The nail-bitingly tense, rib-crackingly funny new TIME POLICE mission from the million-copy bestselling author of THE CHRONICLES OF ST MARY'S.
The Time Police don't think twice about jumping to the past. But, this time, the past has come to them...
What connects a dead dinosaur in Wales with Romulus the founder of Rome, a plot to murder the Princes in the Tower and a shocking cover-up at TPHQ?
It sounds like a joke. It isn't.
The Time Police are determined to find the answers, helped - and occasionally hindered - by a certain wayward member of St Mary's and a recently reunited Team 236. Will they succeed before Time runs out?
And, as if all that wasn't enough, something somewhere in the Timeline is wrong. Very, very wrong. What is the Time Map trying to tell them?
BOOK 6 IN THE TIME POLICE SERIES. FOR FANS OF TERRY PRATCHETT, RICHARD OSMAN AND DOCTOR WHO

LOSE TRACK OF TIME IN THE WORLD OF JODI TAYLOR
Jodi Taylor is the internationally bestselling author of over thirty novels and more short stories than you can shake a stick at.
Her Chronicles of St Mary's series follows a bunch of disaster-prone individuals who investigate major historical events in contemporary time. Do NOT call it time travel! She is also the author of the Time Police books. Set in the same world as St Mary's, this spinoff charts the highs and lows of an all-powerful, international organisation tasked with keeping the Timeline straight no matter what the cost. Efficient and disciplined, obviously they're nothing like St Mary's. Except when they are. And when a short story set in the same world accidentally grew into a full-length novel, the Smallhope & Pennyroyal series was born, following the adventures of two unlikely partners in crime.
Jodi is also known for her gripping supernatural thrillers featuring the mysterious Elizabeth Cage together with the enchanting Frogmorton Farm series - a fairy story for adults.
Born in Bristol and now living in Gloucester (facts both cities vigorously deny), she spent many years with her head somewhere else, much to the dismay of family, teachers and employers, before finally deciding to put all that daydreaming to good use and write a book. And then another twenty nine after that. And she hasn't finished yet.
