About this Item

Paperback. Tom Booker is a new attorney at a powerful Washington law firm. Texting while driving across Memorial Bridge, he loses control and crashes into an oncoming minivan carrying his own daughter and three of her friends. The minivan tips up on two wheels, about to flip over into the Potomac. Time freezes, he's alone on the bridge. A young couple approaches and offers him a re-wind. The crash would be averted, the children saved. All he must do is kill someone every two weeks-anyone-a "soul exchange." A moment later, Tom is back in his spinning car, but averts the deadly crash. He laughs about the hallucination, attributing it to bumping his head on the steering wheel when his car came to an abrupt stop. But his encounter wasn't a hallucination. Two weeks later, the minivan driver is brutally murdered. Tom receives a text: one down, four to go. He has never shot-much less owned-a gun in his life, and now must turn himself into a serial killer or his daughter and her friends will die. Texting while driving, D.C. lawyer Tom Booker causes the death of five people including his young daughter. He's given a chance to rewind the scene and save the five--he just has to kill someone, anyone--every two weeks as "soul exchange." He must now become a murderer or his daughter will die. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
