A riveting bestseller from one of the UK's biggest thriller writers.

One fateful summer evening, businessman Robin Timariot meets a strikingly beautiful woman while out walking. They exchange only a few words, but those words prove to be unforgettable. A few days later, the newspapers are full of the rape and murder of Lady Louise Paxton - and to his horror, Timariot realises that this was the woman he met just hours before her death.

A man is swiftly charged and convicted of the crime, but a series of bizarre events begin to convince Timariot that all is not what it seems. Against his better judgement, he is soon sucked into the tortuous complexity of the dead woman's life. But the closer Timariot gets to the truth, the more hideous and uncertain it seems to be. And far too late, he realizes that anybody who uncovers it is unlikely to live...

Reviews for Borrowed Time

Goddard writes in measured, graceful strokes that seductively charm the reader--first with an amicable grip, then with an inexorable clench.... An elegant mix of secrets, deceits and slowly unfolding horrors. His characters, curiously one-dimensional on first inspection, quickly turn into accordions of personality and behavior . -- Publishers Weekly <br><br> A thriller in the classic storytelling sense...hughely enjoyable -- Times <br><br> An atmosphere of taut menace...suspense is heightened by shadows of betrayal and revenge -- Daily Telegraph
