Two lives. A secret that links the past, the present, and the future.Chasing Time by Thomas Reilly is a mystery novel that moves between ancient Rome and 1960s Brooklyn, showing how one powerful object can change the course of history.In AD 52, Lucius Fabius Antonius is a Roman merchant under pressure from debt, an ambitious wife, and a ruthless banker. When he obtains a key marked with the face of Janus, the god of time, he discovers it can alter contracts and reveal glimpses of what is yet to come. For Lucius, the key could mean wealth and security—or complete ruin.Centuries later in 1965, Anthony “Tony” Lucas, a shy eighth grader in Brooklyn, wins a chance to bring home a time capsule from his school. Inside, he finds the same strange key. Tony has always had a sense for predicting the time and small events, but the key reveals something much bigger: an old newspaper that suddenly shows headlines from the year 2025. As he tries to make sense of it, Tony realizes that the key ties him to people long gone and events not yet written.Part coming-of-age story, part historical fiction novel, and part suspense, Chasing Time explores how the past and the future are connected through choices, family, and fate. It asks the reader to consider what they would do if they were given a warning, a sign, or a second chance.Perfect for readers who enjoy historical fiction books with history, suspense, and a touch of the unexplained, this novel is about family, choices, and the way time connects us all.
