Despite eerie visions that suggest a tantalising proximity to 2007, DI Sam Tyler once again wakes up to find himself very much amongst the pale brown hues of the technologically prehistoric, politically incorrect
world of Manchester, 1973. And what’s more he’s got a murder to solve.
Sam encounters the young incarnation of Tony Crane, a nasty villain he put away in 2006. Sam realises he is faced with the chance every copper dreams about: stopping the killer before he kills.
Gambling everything on ensuring the man is sent down; Sam’s flagrant disregard for procedure stuns his colleagues in CID. But they can’t appreciate what Sam is starting to fear… that since his car accident in 2006, the villain has been released, and has found his way to his hospital bedside where he is exacting his revenge on Sam’s vulnerable body.
Still desperate to discover how he got to 1973, why he remains there, and how he may return to the present day, Sam has to race against the clock to capture a killer, who is trying to murder him in the future.
