Synopsis

In 1985, with much fanfare, a time capsule was buried under the front lawn of a small-town county courthouse, to be reopened in 2085. But just twenty years later, in the dead of night, the capsule is dug up, its contents stolen. That same night, one of the contributors to the capsule is brutally slain in his home - with no sign of forced entry or indication of a struggle. One by one, others who had placed items in the time capsule are murdered. Besides his suspicions about the sudden, mysterious appearance of Nikita Stover, the chief investigator, Knox Davis, has absolutely no leads. And while Nikita’s no murderer, she seems to be hiding plenty of secrets. With more at stake than anyone else realizes, the smart-talking Nikita is determined to catch this cunning killer - while at the same time battling her own deepening feelings for a man and for a world in which she doesn’t belong.

Frankly I started reading this book just to kill time! *No pun intended xD* I knew I'd have a good time because, who am I kidding, it's Linda Howard y'all!

Audio and book review: I'm not sure where to go with this. Not a typical Linda Howard, but I've only read a few. Nikita, the heroine, is a time traveling FBI agent who meets up with down home Kentuckian sheriff/detective Knox to find out why a 20 year old time capsule has been stolen as why there are......more

Goodreads review by Christine on May 16, 2010

Like all of Linda Howard's romantic suspense, this is fast-paced and smooth reading, but ultimately it failed as both a suspense and a romance. The time travel element was the big problem, in my opinion. I found it to be confusing and underdeveloped. On the suspense side of things, I'm still not real......more

I'm not sure how to explain this book. I did like it, but it was kinda strange. The beginning was slow and I wasn't too sure about it. As I trudged on, my curiousity got the better of me. The storyline itself was very unique and interesting. It took awhile to get into the main characters. By the end......more
