A snowstorm approaches, and with it arrives a menacing stranger whose presence will change everything. A haunted man, driven by destiny, set to wreak havoc on Kate’s carefully constructed life. Over the course of twenty four hours, as intersecting paths tragically entwine, Kate discovers that everything she holds dear is in peril.
Isolated by the unrelenting storm, in a desperate race against time, Kate and her family face a battle of wits with the highest stakes. Their lives.”
Anthony Carragher was born in Dublin, Ireland. An investment professional for over twenty years, he now devotes himself full-time to writing. His bestselling sports book Lost? won a Dublin People book award and received critical acclaim. The Dying Time is his debut novel. Anthony lives between Dublin and Limerick.
Anthony explains: “I’m fascinated by the mystery of time. Is the past, present and future already mapped out? Have we power over the lives we live or are our fates predetermined? How do we react when unexpected events capsize our world and threaten our very existence? I explore these ideas in my novel, the psychological thriller The Dying Time.”
