The Timekeepers: A new science crime thriller based on the vulnerability of time.


Manson was the opposite of McGeever in every way.  McGeever really did look like James Bond being tall, good looking and athletic.  But in reality it was Manson who had field experience while McGeever was essentially a desk man.  Manson had worked undercover in South America for over nine years brushing up against some of the most dangerous drug cartels in the world who included people who were renowned for their violence and cruelty.  Under the guise of a coffee exporter Manson had made his way all over the remotest parts of Columbia, his white linen suit stained and showing signs of wear, and sweat marks under the armpits.  In fact Manson believed that he never once stopped sweating during his long tours of duty in that tragic country.  Unlike McGeever, Manson had killed, several times in self-defence, and frequently over-stepped the mark while trying to get information.  Oh yes, Manson was undoubtedly a good agent, and once he had the scent of his quarry, then nothing would stand in his way.  Yet in appearance Manson was joke.  A short man, with a square bulging torso, a face like a boxer, thinning hair and a simpleton expression.  You wouldn’t give him a second glance unless you were a hot dog trader.

Coming in June The Timekeepers by Nick Gray and published by Tigroney Press. A science thriller based on the vulnerability of time.
