A Time for Murder

Everyone knows the first forty-eight hours are the most important after a homicide. But for Detective Luke Guillory, the first forty-eight hours are all he gets-over and over and over.

Luke is a pariah in the Sacramento P.D.: the son of a disgraced police chief, he has the lowest close rate on the force. After a freak power outage, Luke finds himself reliving the same two days after a local real estate developer is murdered. With the help of a cynical retired detective, he discovers he must catch the murderer to escape the time loop.

But his own department has turned against him, his mother's in jail, and the web of money, lies, and deceit complicates everything about the case.

Can Luke solve the murder-and get his life back?
