Time Has Come Today

In Time Has Come Today, the 16th in the series and a stand-along, FBI Special Agent Jeannie Loomis faces her most unpredictable adversary yet: a terminally ill woman, Riley Bishop, who has nothing to lose and a burning need to make her mark on a world she believes has failed her. Diagnosed with late-stage cancer and abandoned by those she once trusted, Riley embarks on a chilling spree of targeted killings, lashing out at the injustices and indignities she sees around her.

As Riley’s murders escalate in intensity and unpredictability, Jeannie and her partner, Ismail Flores, race against the clock to unravel the killer’s motives. Riley’s erratic pattern defies logic, her victims spanning from political figures to johns, and even random acts of public rage. The only constant is the precision of her actions—and the chilling indifference to her own survival.

Haunted by her own unresolved past and strained personal life, Jeannie pushes herself to the brink, piecing together Riley’s fractured psyche to anticipate her next move. As the case intensifies, Jeannie’s insights bring her dangerously close to understanding Riley’s mindset, forcing her to confront the limits of justice and the weight of mortality.

The showdown unfolds at a remote city overlook, where Riley sets the stage for her final act. With the city below as a mocking backdrop, Jeannie must navigate the thin line between empathy and duty, engaging in a tense confrontation that tests the resolve of both women.

Taut, emotional, and deeply introspective, Time Has Come Today is a gripping thriller that explores the complexities of vengeance, the human need for validation, and the sacrifices made in pursuit of justice.
