ONE CALL CAN CHANGE YOUR PAST.
AND F***-UP EVERYONE’S FUTURE . . .

Bob Bloomfield is not a nice man.
It’s kind of his brand.
The reason his celebrity clients pay him the big bucks.
And definitely not some messed up way of dealing with a terrible childhood tragedy

But then he finds a freaky ‘80s mobile phone.
One that can dial up the past.
And give him a chance to put things right.
Only Bob has forgotten one key detail:
he’s the last person you’d bank on doing the right thing …

About the author

Steve Jones

Steve Jones' first job was in a petrol station. It was also the first job he was fired from for putting diesel in Dai-The-Milk's petrol truck.
From there he gained employment in a printing factory before setting off for distant shores to "find himself". He subsequently found a mediocre career in modelling which thankfully segued into a fairly successful twenty-year (to date) career in TV presenting. His cherished accomplishments: he was crowned Welsh Rear of the Year in 2002. His suitcase has come out first at the airport on no less than two occasions, and now, he has written two novels, Call Time and Terminally Kill. Which he very much hopes you will enjoy.
