    Justice was served: Wolfe was caught and put into a chemically induced coma. But justice can't bring back the dead.

    Tormented by the memory of all those he failed, Tom's only solace now comes from the sharp end of a needle. For him, the numbers can't find zero soon enough.

    Now, Tom is dragged into one last case to catch the monster who stole his everything. But catching Malcolm, and unraveling the mystery of his escape, means confronting demons from his own past, and stumbling upon a secret so powerful that it could spell the destruction of Unity.

    Tom's tried justice. Now, he'll try vengeance. All he's got to do is catch Malcolm before the numbers catch him.

    Time Heist is the first book in The Firstborn Saga, featuring fast-paced action, thrilling suspense, and complex characters. If you like Jim Butcher, William Gibson, and Chuck Wendig, then you'll love this captivating post-apocalyptic adventure.
