Great Book

"A Matter of Time" is a time travel mystery set in the 1970's. As far as I am aware this is the only Cook novel set (for the most part) in contemporary Earth. However, Cook maintains his style of far flung plots converging in a satisfying conclusion. And, of course, this book has the "grey reality of loss" feel that is the authors trademark. If you can find the book I would highly recommend it, especially for long time Cook fans.
