Time Is Up

The new novel by a masterful storyteller (Goodreads) The time: the very near future. David Holbrook is an attorney in the middle of a highly publicized murder trial. His client: one Steven Yankov, a computer geek who mysteriously disappeared after a mission abroad, only to resurface under a false identity and kill, for no apparent reason, Dr. Vincent Kim, a chemistry Nobel laureate and CEO of a pharmaceutical company. Bizarrely, he flatly refuses to explain his motive and help Holbrook with his defense.
After a stranger has tricked him to implant a device in him that embedded someone else’s memory in his brain, Holbrook is haunted by terrifying dreams. In his quest to find out what drove Yankov to commit murder and uncover the secret behind the frightening memories, he relies on his best friend since childhood days, Alexandra Corvino, a brilliant scientist who had happened to earn her PhD under Dr. Kim, the murder victim. Soon they come across a mysterious company dealing in death. Holbrook realizes that his client is burdened by an enormous sense of guilt, and that at the heart of the mystery lie unspeakable crimes on a massive scale. When an attempt is made on his life, Holbrook knows he is dangerously close to uncovering a truth that is even more horrific than his nightmares.
