Porters - by Patrick Clark (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

"It's actually very easy to time travel; you just have to go fast enough."

What good is a time machine if human beings can't survive time travel? Evidently, there is one answer; it becomes the most effective way in history to dispose of a dead body. I mean, what could be better for a criminal than dumping their latest victim two dozen years or so into the future?

PORTERS follows forty-nine-year-old Detective Steven Wilson in the dystopian future of 2069, forty years after the invention of time travel. Wilson is the head of the NTSI (Non-Linear Time Stream Investigation Unit), a special division within the NYPD. Ultimately, 2069 has become the official dumping ground for the first wave of "time trash," among which are numerous murder victims. It's Wilson's job to find out who killed them.

Wilson is one of the best there is when it comes to solving these futuristic murders and catching the killers of the past. However, when a new body arrives that suggests that he is dealing with a serial killer (a first for the NTSI), all bets are off the table. As more and more bodies pile up, Wilson discovers that someone is assisting the killer in the present time. He attempts to fight an enemy across two timelines; trying to solve a forty-year-old murder with real-time consequences while battling paradoxes that threaten the very fabric of reality.
