Detective Inspector Cecil Thorndike is ready to retire after forty years on the force. But when a respected community figure vanishes, his quiet farewell turns into a race against time.
What begins as a missing-person inquiry spirals into a chilling murder investigation-one tangled in ambition, betrayal, and secrets buried deep within Collingstone's close-knit streets.
As Thorndike battles pain, pressure, and the clock, his instincts lead him to a web of lies involving a greyhound syndicate, a redevelopment dream, and an affair that could shatter lives. With his loyal team at his side and a past that haunts him, Thorndike must deliver justice before he calls time on his career.
Calling Time is a gripping crime drama of loyalty, obsession, and the dangerous lengths people will go to protect what they love.
