“It’s perfection, every word, every moment. A masterpiece . . . One of the best books I’ve ever read.” —Lisa Jewell, #1 New York Times bestselling author

New York Times bestselling author Gillian McAllister has created a thriller unlike any other in this endlessly clever, twisty story of a mother who must move backward through time to prevent tragedy from striking at the heart of her family.

Can you stop a murder after it’s already happened?

It is midnight on the morning of Halloween, and Jen anxiously waits up for her 18-year-old son, Todd, to return home. But worries about his broken curfew transform into something much more dangerous when Todd finally emerges from the darkness. As Jen watches through the window, she sees her funny, seemingly happy teenage son stab a total stranger.

She doesn’t know who the victim is, or why Todd has committed such a devastating act of violence. All she knows is that her life, and Todd’s, have been shattered. 

After her son is taken into custody, Jen falls asleep in despair. But when she wakes up…it is yesterday. The murder has not happened yet—and there may be a chance to stop it. Each morning, when Jen wakes, she is further back in the past, first weeks, then years, before the murder. And Jen realizes that somewhere in the past lies the trigger for Todd’s terrible crime…and it is her mission to find it, and prevent it from taking place.

Both the story of a mother’s love and the sacrifices she will make for her child, and a thriller with a brilliant twist, Wrong Place Wrong Time is a one-of-a-kind novel that begs to be read in one sitting.

”Fel tid, fel plats” är en andlöst spännande och överraskande psykologisk thriller om kärlek, lögner och en mors desperata försök att rädda sin son.

Det är varje förälders mardröm. Din älskade son står anklagad för mord. Du vet inte varför. Du vet bara att din tonårsson sitter häktad och att hans framtid är förstörd. Den natten somnar du i förtvivlan. Allt är förlorat. Tills du vaknar ...

… och det är igår.

För varje morgon du vaknar är det ytterligare en dag tidigare. Ännu en dag före mordet. Ännu en chans att stoppa det.

"Det är en udda intrig, men Gillian McAllister hanterar den så skickligt att det blir oerhört dramatiskt och tankeväckande. Jen tvingas omvärdera sitt liv, gång på gång, som om det vore en baklängesvariant av 'Gone girl'." Dagens Nyheter

Klockan är halv två på natten när mobilen ringer. ”Hjälp mig, snälla hjälp mig!” Vid sidan av den ensliga vägen som leder fram till deras italienska villa finner Cathy och Joe sin lillasyster. Frannie har kört på en man. Han ligger död i vägdammet. I mörkret vid vägkanten ber Frannie sina syskon om hjälp. Och med hjälp menar hon inte att ringa polisen.
