How do you stop a serial killer from the future? How far would you go to keep your child from being his next victim? What if you knew you would die trying to save her? These are the questions that Killian County Sheriff's Detective Mark Thompson must answer in the Science Fiction/Thriller Paradox. When a mysterious shooting victim is found in a ditch near a research laboratory in Harris, Illinois, Detective Thompson must set aside his beliefs about what is possible and stop a psychopath who will murder ten women in the very near future. A backpack containing information about imminent events and a file detailing a secret government project run by Mark's former lover are his only means to change the course of time's arrow. But will Mark be able to uncover the killer's identity before his daughter becomes the next victim? All the while, Mark must balance his duties as a police officer and his need to protect his strong-willed daughter from the killer known only as the Traveler.
