The past doesn’t always stay where it should. It is as though somebody,
or something, is forever trying to bring it painfully into the present.
Flavian Bennett is trying to leave his past behind when he goes to
work in his father’s bookshop in Paris. But a curious customer, Reginald Hopper, is desperate to resurrect his own murky origins. Hopper
believes that a rare and mysterious book, The Dark Return of Time, may
be the key to what happened before he arrived in Paris. In this quiet
thriller by R. B. Russell, the futures — and pasts — of these two men
will soon cross.
