Out of time - Contemporary Crime Fiction Book by Phillip Johnstone

Out of Time takes readers on a gripping journey beneath the edges of society, where ordinary lives collide with extraordinary danger. Imagine Jonathan Deigh, an everyday man with a fractured past, suddenly thrust into a world of terrorism, organized crime, and betrayal. With his future in tatters and minimal connection to his estranged daughter, Jonathan seeks nothing more than to rebuild his life in the UK and establish a meaningful relationship with her. But fate has other plans.

When he discovers DI Anna Markov—bound, gagged, and drugged—in the back of a van owned by his enigmatic new boss, club owner Adam Levi, Jonathan is pulled into a dark underworld. The stakes escalate quickly: the Vory, a ruthless Chechen terrorist cell, and a compromised MI5 boss threaten everything he holds dear. In a relentless struggle to untangle himself from a merciless paymaster, Jonathan’s quest for justice drags his daughter into imminent danger, testing the limits of loyalty, courage, and survival.

As law and order falter, an unlikely alliance forms between Deigh and Markov. Together, they must navigate the most brutal levels of criminality to confront an organization without morals, boundaries, or limits. This is a world where one misstep can have catastrophic consequences, and where ordinary people are pushed to extraordinary lengths.

For fans of high-stakes thrillers, espionage, and morally complex characters, Out of Time delivers relentless tension, vivid action, and a darkly compelling look at society’s underbelly. J. Reacher meets A Mole in a story that challenges the notion of safety, family, and justice—perfect for readers who crave suspense with emotional depth.
