I stare down at the sunken patch of earth with awful dread. Caring hands take hold of the little girl, lifting her out of the dirt and debris, cradling her gently. A woman old enough to be her abuelita, one fist clutching a rosary, closes the child's eyes. Her tears wash runnels through the caked mud on her granddaughter's face as she gives her one final kiss.

Still reeling from her husband's murder and struggling to rebuild her life as a single mom to her young daughter, Susan is now faced with her toughest case yet.

It's a typical farmhouse kitchen. A large table fills the space, and in one of the chairs is the lifeless body of Doctor Magnusson. Under his feet and the dusty wooden floorboards lies the basement - and twelve therapy rooms. Behind each locked door, the victims are about to be rescued... When a world-renowned psychiatrist is found dead in an abandoned ranch house in the Californian Santa Carina Valley, a Post-it note with the words "Susan Parker" and a cell phone number is taped to the basement door. Still grieving her husband's devastating suicide less than a year ago, FBI agent Susan Parker is taking a break from work and trying to rebuild her life as a single mom to her seven-year-old daughter, Natalie. When she's called to the crime scene of Doctor Magnusson, a chill runs down her spine. For years, Susan had been trying to hunt down the doctor, convinced he was the serial killer known as 'Splinter.' Someone is playing a cruel game with her, and they've only just begun. Desperate to speak to the twelve victims rescued from the locked therapy rooms, Susan finds herself faced with a wall of silence. Why won't they talk? Battling her demons while confronting the toughest case she's ever had to solve, Susan discovers a chilling truth about the true nature of Splinter - a killer preying on those seeking therapy. But that's not all she finds... She's about to uncover a shocking secret behind her husband's death - one that links him to the Splinter case. With her family's safety hanging in the balance and her career on the line, can Susan protect her precious daughter and prevent a new killing spree before it's too late?

Time is central to our lived experience of the world. Yet, as this book reveals, it is startlingly difficult to reconcile the way we seem to experience time with many of the theories presented to us in physics and metaphysics. This comprehensive and accessible introduction guides the unfamiliar reader through difficult questions at the intersection of the metaphysics and physics of time. It starts with the assumption that physics and metaphysics are inextricably connected, and that each can, and should, shed light on the other. The authors explore a range of views about the nature of time, showing how different these are from the way we typically think about time and our place in it. They consider such questions as: whether time travel is possible, and, if it is, whether we can change the past; whether there is a single moment that is objectively present; whether time flows or is static; and whether, ultimately, time exists at all. An Introduction to the Philosophy of Time will appeal to students of physics and philosophy who want both a comprehensive overview of the area and enough depth to allow for rigorous discussion. The book’s detailed readings and exercises will challenge students and provide a clear roadmap for further study.
