Out of Time: The Dream Traveler Book One

He doesn’t need a time machine. Just a bed, a photograph… and enough whiskey to blur the lines of reality.

Sean McMillan isn’t your average detective, and this isn’t your average crime novel. In a world where justice sleeps and the past refuses to stay buried, Out of Time explodes onto the scene with brutal swagger and brain-twisting originality. McMillan doesn’t investigate cases the old-fashioned way. He dives headfirst into the dreamworld, using his own twisted form of lucid dreaming to travel back through time. Just far enough to get answers, but never far enough to escape the consequences.

There are rules to what Sean does, unwritten, unreliable, and enforced only by pain. But when a cold case begins to thaw and new blood starts to spill, the lines between duty, obsession, and survival blur fast. From nicotine-stained 90s pubs and pool halls to the sterile tension of modern-day police stations, Sean is a man caught between timelines and the truth, armed with nothing but wit, willpower, and the occasional rolled-up newspaper.

With dialogue that bites and a voice soaked in cynicism and charm, Out of Time crackles with noir attitude, bone-deep tension, and razor-sharp humour. Part gritty procedural, part metaphysical mind-trip, this is a time travel thriller for readers who like their heroes damaged, their villains terrifying, and their plots twisted tighter than a politician's alibi.
