Review of "KILLING TIME" by Linda Howard 2006
In January of 1985, a time capsule is buried next to the flagpole in front of
the Peke County, KY Courthouse. Twenty years later, the time capsule
mysteriously disappears and the only thing the security camera reveals is an instant
flash of light. Chief Investigator Knox Davis is mystified by this but doesn't
have long to investigate due to the murder of a prominent attorney. At the
crime scene, Knox discovers Nikita Stover snooping around. Although Nikita claims
to be an FBI agent, Knox isn't buying that. Nikita has a slight accent and
doesn't understand common terminology. When Knox threatens to arrest her, Nikita
confesses she is an FBI agent, but from 200 years in the future, and has been
sent back to try to find the contents of the missing time capsule; one of
which holds the secret to time travel.
While Knox and Nikita try to track down the missing time capsule, a killer
from the future is stalking them with the intent to murder Nikita. Although
Nikita and Knox are fully aware she will eventually have to return to the future,
they cannot deny their growing attraction for one another.
Fast-paced and filled with action and romance, this is an entertaining read.
Although some questions remain unanswered, Linda Howard, as always, delivers
her readers and fans an intriguing paranormal suspense.
