June - Book of the Month: Doing Time

A Year of reading with Jodi Taylor

Creating The Time Police: Jodi Taylor's Insight

Time travel isn’t for the faint-hearted. Neither is policing it.

In a future where time travel is real and history must be protected at all costs, the Time Police are the thin line between order and utter chaos. Unfortunately, they’ve just recruited Jane, Luke, and Matthew—three misfits who couldn’t be less suited to the job if they tried.

Jane is determined to escape her past. Luke’s trying to live up to a name that terrifies even the most hardened agents. And Matthew is more comfortable making tea than making arrests.

Thrown together as the most unorthodox team in the history of the Time Police, Team 236 must learn to work together—quickly. Because history is under attack. With assassination plots, missing agents, and dangerous figures lurking in the shadows, it soon becomes clear that someone is manipulating time for their own gain.

As the stakes rise and loyalties are tested, the question isn’t just whether Jane, Luke, and Matthew can survive their probation—it’s whether they can actually save time itself.
