Deadline (Power Reads Book 2)

In forty-eight hours you're going to commit murder, and there's nothing that you can do to prevent it...

When murder is coming to find you, there's nowhere to hide.

Publicly humiliated after a divorce from an abusive partner, troubled city worker Kelly Lawson finds herself in her ex-husbandâ€™s orbit once again as he runs for public office. But there is something that her former spouse is hiding, an unsolved disappearance that will come back to haunt him and everyone who knows him. There's nothing that he won't do to keep the past buried. He needs the perfect murder, and the only perfect murder is one where the killer is unaware of their crime...

The question isnâ€™t who did it, but whoâ€™s going to do it and whoâ€™s going to survive? When lies are the currency of life, telling the truth is tantamount to heresy, and Kelly's honesty is about to become her greatest liability...

Praise for Dean Crawford:

"The fossilized remains of a 7,000-year-old creature dug from the sands of the Negev Desert in Israel become the bones of contention in Dean Crawford's fast-paced debut thriller... The book neatly threads together a wild variety of plotlines." - Wall Street Journal

â€œâ€¦ cleverly introduced premiseâ€¦ assured pacing and plottingâ€¦â€ - Publishers Weekly

â€œThe action is frenetic, in the vein of Matthew Reillyâ€™s Scarecrow series. Crawford is an able storyteller who smoothly orchestrates the plotâ€™s twists and turnsâ€¦ â€ â€“ Kirkus Reviews

â€œâ€¦ brilliant high-concept, high-octane thrillerâ€¦.â€ - The Guardian

"A fast-paced and entertaining yarn." - Melbourne Age

"Partly mythical read, part thriller this pacy tale is a page turner guaranteed to keep you up late." - The Sun

"Get the cameras rollingâ€”Indiana Jones meets Alien. What a combination of mystery, suspense, and unspeakable horror. I loved it!" - R.L. Stine

â€œThis is an amazingly good, intelligently told novel by an exciting new British author.â€ - Eurocrime

"Earth-shattering intrigue, hyperdrive action and a desperate race to save humanity, cranked up to the max with scarily realistic science and apocalyptic religion thrown in for good measure . . . a major new talent has hit the mystery thriller scene!" - Scott Mariani
