Synopsis

A Mesmerizing Thriller Told in Reverse

Richard Doetsch returns with a stand-alone sequel to his international bestseller, The 13th Hour, published in twenty-two countries and optioned by Sony TV

On a warm Fourth of July in the quiet New York town of Byram Hills, Nick Quinn watches as his wife and daughter die—along with his closest friends and family—in an unprecedented terrorist attack.

Amid the disaster, Nick is approached by one of his closest friends, gunshot and dying. With his last breath, he hands Nick an antique pocket watch that possesses the power to rewrite the recent past.

Emotionally shattered and desperate, Nick uses the watch and is shocked to find himself propelled back in time to where he was an hour ago, before the attack on his town.

At the top of each hour, the watch sends him back two hours to live one hour again, a backwards march to relive each hour of his day. A twelve-hour journey providing precious but limited time to protect Julia and Katy and uncover the source of the threat.

But each time Nick thinks he’s solved the crime and secured the future, he uncovers new levels of deception and betrayal, ultimately revealing a far more sinister plot with unexpected players and grim, global consequences.

If Nick hasn’t set things right by the 13th hour, not only will his wife and daughter be lost forever to the chaos, but an even greater catastrophe will be unleashed upon the world.

A surprising and utterly original thriller, The 13th Hour: Chaos delivers pure, page-turning suspense—full of double-crosses, shocking turnabouts, and the inexorable power of love.

Goodreads review by Kirsten on May 22, 2015

Alright. So. What to say about this one? Let's start with the fact that if I ever read the phrase "gun at the small of his back" one more time, I might hurt myself. And if anyone EVER describes someone else as beseechingly like, looking at the clock, or desperately wondering if there will ever be enou......more

Very thrilling - that's as succinct as I can say! I was glued to this book for a day and finished it quite fast. My opinion The 13th Hour starts with Nick and Julia having a minor disagreement, before Julia sets off to work and Nick spends his day working from home. At almost 7 pm, Julia is murdered a......more

What a great thriller this was! This author is a first time read for me, and wow, so glad I read this book. I have never read a book with a plot line quite as unique as this one, which BTW was the reason why I got the book in the first place. I loved the plot, the characters, and especially those ad......more

Goodreads review by Daniel on September 14, 2022

This was an excellent book with a few minor issues. First you do not cock a glock, thats now how they work. I am sure someone has pointed this out to the author so I wont dwell on it. I did think the protagonist took an incredibly stupid risk near the end of the book with who he told about the time......more

Goodreads review by Christina on October 30, 2019

Wouldn't have read it, if it wasn't for the bookclub. What I don't like about these Thrillers is that you never get close to any emotions of the charakters. It's only one fact after the other. It doesn't touch me and that bores me really fast. The time travelling fact kept me stick to it. I guess it......more
