Liverpool is at the heart of a new crime-meets-time travel novel described as "the most talked about thriller of 2022".
Gillian McAllister's Wrong Place Wrong Time tells the story of a woman from Crosby as she wakes up one day further back in time every morning after her "happy, funny, innocent" teenage son murders a "complete stranger". The Sunday Times bestsellers new book, published by Penguin on Thursday, May 12, asks the reader, 'how do you stop a murder that's already happened?'
Six weeks back in time, the lead character is stood on Crosby beach, looking out at the sea in search of answers. She stands beside the statues of Antony Gormley's Another Place, representing "the other hers in this sort of multiverse she finds herself in". It's Gillian's favourite scene in the book, with Merseyside picked as its setting thanks to the Port of Liverpool's role in the story's organised crime element.
