Misdial

"Fast-paced and fun to read, Joshua Fagan's Misdial gives us a sharp new redux on one of science fiction's bedrocks: time travel." -Endy Wright, author of The Omicron Six, Blood for the Fisher King, and The Garden Plot Diaries

A young man obsessed with dragging his family from rags to riches. A young woman willing to sacrifice the same luxury to restore a sense of family. A businessman ready to give up everything for a chance to gain more. When Calvin finds a phone that can call into the past, all three lives converge.

While the phone's creator, Monty, built the device for altruistic purposes, his wealthy brother and benefactor, Rob, had other plans, and so Monty fled-only to be robbed and killed in front of his daughter.

Many years later, Calvin finds the phone in a Los Angeles pawnshop and soon discovers its unique abilities. Although the phone proves to be Calvin's ticket to riches, he finds himself dialling his way to safety when he learns Rob will stop at nothing to obtain the phone-even if it means prying it from Calvin's cold, dead hands.
