Nick of Time

By: John Gilstrap

Narrated by: Christine Marshall

"A page-turning thriller with strong characters, exciting action, and a big heart." - Heather Graham

A pulse-pounding novel of two young lovers on the ultimate joyride - racing against the clock and against the law.

She's running out of time

Nicki Janssen's days are numbered, but she refuses to accept her fate lying down. Defying her father and doctors, she hits the road with a pocketful of cash, a bus ticket - and a romantic fantasy of riding off with her childhood crush.

He's running from the law

Handsome, dangerous Brad Ward is facing a different kind of sentence. Sent to prison for felony murder, he has escaped and rekindled his relationship with Nicki. But when Nicki's father joins forces with a deputy sheriff, the search for the runaways ignites a manhunt - a blistering chase that accelerates with every stolen car, every act of violence.

Critic reviews

"When you pick up a Gilstrap novel, you are going to be entertained at a high rate of speed." (Suspense Magazine)

"Gilstrap will leave you breathless." (Harlan Coben)

"One of the finest thriller writers on the planet." (Tess Gerritsen)

Not what I expected

Well-written teenage angst. Granted neither of the two teen protagonists had an easy life. But following their series of increasingly bad decisions doesn’t make for a good story, and definitely not one I’d expect from John Gilstrap. There was no character for an adult reader to identify with, or at least find interesting. I missed Digger and Big Guy and their team, missed the intense action and serious jeopardy Gilstrap brings to every page.
