New Rules of Time Travel: 1933 The Detective: Book 1: 1933 The Detective

by Vincent Metzo

Overview

First Rule of Time Travel-you can only go backwards. Sitting in the common room of Bellevue's psychiatric ward, Detective Lopez wondered where he went wrong. He can't remember his past, blacks out, and regularly wakes up to find blood on his hands. If Lopez could escape before they finish experimenting on him, he could still catch the killer.
Drew Black loves being an agent of the Time Operations Executive. When TOE operators show up dead, Drew knows it's time to ignore orders and bring his friend Lopez in from the cold. Enlisting orphans, Jimmy Dobreva and Sarah Williams, to help free Lopez and solve the case, Agent Black sets a series of events in motion.
Brainwashed and conditioned to kill, they return Lopez to the Executive. Will he get his memories back, solve the murders, and undo his brainwashing, or will he kill the very people trying to help him?

Author of Shadow of Love - Amy S. Cutler

I very much enjoyed the trips to the Automat and the occasional headlines about FDR and the New Deal. Reading some of the developments in the book did remind me of that great sage Yogi Berra, "It's like déjà vu all over again." Following the trail of speakeasies, crime scenes, shootouts, and run ins in the sewers, "The New Rules of Time Travel" will keep you on your toes. As an amateur historian I can attest to the accuracy of what life was like in NY in the thirties.
