When the Numbers Don't Add Up (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781036926083)

What if your life had a countdown-and someone else controlled the clock?

In a disarmingly familiar London, everyone is born with 100 years of life, tracked by an implanted Life Counter. Break the rules, and time is deducted. But when a new law punishes babies for their parents' mistakes, Cooper and Lexie's newborn is already running out of time.

Determined to fight the system, Cooper is forced to confront his estranged father-the very man who built it. As their battle intensifies, so does the public outcry, fuelled by a rebellious neighbour, an insider with a conscience, and the unstoppable power of social media.

With the clock ticking, Cooper and Lexie must risk everything to save their child's future. But in a world where time is currency, some will do anything to keep control.

For fans of Black Mirror and The Handmaid's Tale, this gripping dystopian thriller will keep you turning the pages long after lights out.
