If Martin Brownlow could have chosen his career he'd work at MI6 now, but he didn't and at 33 he supervises the hot chicken counter at a Birmingham supermarket. Even before the food poisoning scandal his vindictive boss hated him but with the papers demanding answers and the goons at head-office expecting a scapegoat, his time could well be up. But Martin has a plan. And as the clock ticks closer to the anniversary of his dad's death, the chance discovery of 'an opening' back in time means he can put everything right -as long as he can escape a murder charge and make it back to the present with his life intact.
