Play For Time

What if the future hangs on your ability to play for time...

When Tom Brookes and Beth Sawyer accidentally bumped into each other on the 15:15 train from Paddington to Cheltenham, neither of them expected it to be the start of a journey that would throw their normal lives so spectacularly off-course. 

In Play for Time - the highly-anticipated sequel to the much praised, award-winning Running Behind Time - Tom and Beth struggle to adjust to life in a sleepy Cotswold village while trying to rein in a toddler whose astounding abilities are seen as a threat by the all-powerful Guardians. With spies reporting on the family's every turn, what follows is as unpredictable as the knife-edge climax.

Play for Time continues the story of an extraordinary relationship between two people who should never have met.
