What Time Devours

What Time Devours

The moment Thomas Knight saw the strange, vacant eyes pressed to his kitchen window, he knew she was dead. What he had yet to learn was that the woman had recently claimed to be in possession of a long lostâ€”and now pricelessâ€”literary treasure: Shakespeareâ€™s Loveâ€™s Labourâ€™s Won.

The police arenâ€™t interested in old plays, especially one many scholars donâ€™t believe ever existed. But Thomas is convinced that the play is real, that it is out thereâ€”somewhereâ€”and that it somehow holds the key to the womanâ€™s death, and perhaps other, stranger secrets as well.
His pursuit of the truth takes him to ancient sites a continent away, through the rarified air of academia, and deeper into intrigue and danger. To uncover what lies at the heart of the mystery, Thomas will have to enter a story which drags loss and death after it like a Shakespearean tragedy, a story bound to time and all it devours.

â€œA fabulous thriller by an amazingly talented author. Exciting and meaningful, it surprised and transported me.â€
â€”David Morrell

â€œA.J. Hartley takes the reader on an intelligent, intense, suspenseful ride in What Time Devours. A crime tale about Shakespeare, trust and redemption that keeps you turning the pages.â€
â€”James O. Born

â€œA. J. Hartley doesn't just write page turning thrillers: he takes his readers through well-realized landscapes and possible eventsâ€¦ For all Hartley's insistence that a novel is a fiction, this one is all too plausible.â€
Ruth Morse, Crime Writers Association Judge and reviewer for the Times Literary Supplement

"A well-crafted, edge of your seat thriller. Just when you think youâ€™ve figured out whatâ€™s coming next, the story takes a sharp turn andâ€¦will keep you guessing until the very end."
Kimberly Swan for Darque Reviews

â€œA literate, literary thriller... Devotees of Shakespeare will enjoy this novel on an extra level, but you donâ€™t have to love his plays or poems to enjoy this fast-paced thriller.â€
