Combining the elements of the mystery with innovative science fiction, Time Stand Still is a time-bending tale of the ultimate dream gone horribly wrong. It will be officially released July 9th, 2002.

Most people do not hesitate to answer 'yes; when asked if they would accept a chance to relive a part of their past. Most never think of the simplest of consequences. Private Investigator Darren Camponi gets this exact opportunity in Time Stand Still.. Hired to find an old classmate, Camponi locates the man, only to discover he is working on a secret experiment: time travel. Camponi is not the only one looking for this man; so is the federal government, his former employer and quite an interested party in this research. When Camponi refuses to back down and causes mishaps to those around him, he is left with no choice but to help his old friend complete the experiment, thus getting a chance to relive his high school days. Can he survive the pitfalls that await him in the past and present? Will he prevent the death of a loved one and solve a mystery he has wondered about for over 15 years?

John Misak is a native of Long Island, New York. Time Stand Still is his second novel. His first, Soft Case, was acclaimed by critics and readers alike for its gritty portrayal of police work in New York City, and its dry humor.
