I've picked this book up after having it here for the longest time, because it's an upcoming discussion book on 4 Mystery Addicts

"A grey bird glided in and out of Harry's field of vision. He drummed his fingers on the steering wheel. Slow time. Somebody had been talking about 'slow time' on TV yesterday. This was slow time. Like on Christmas Eve before Father Christmas came. Or sitting in the electric chair before the current was turned on."
After absolutely loving The Devil's Star I have high hopes, even though these were published out of series order so this is an earlier book, clearing up what happened to turn Harry into the person he was in The Devil's Star.
