Description

Bailey Cooper's job is unlike any other. She's a time-traveling investigator, and she's just about to make history. In Past, Present, Paradox: The Bailey Cooper Chronicles, Bailey embarks on her first solo mission to the 1940s, where she will test a cutting-edge time travel device that has the potential to revolutionize the future. But Bailey is no stranger to high-stakes decisions-she's been living in the world of the future, a place where technology has reshaped society in ways that were once unimaginable. Now, facing the raw and chaotic world of the past, Bailey's skills will be tested like never before.

From the moment Bailey steps into 1947, she's faced with challenges that extend beyond the typical crime investigation. Equipped with a futuristic watch, she's able to gather crucial details from the world around her, assess social dynamics, and read between the lines of human interaction. But it's not just about using technology-Bailey must learn how to blend in, navigate unfamiliar customs, and adjust to a time when women in law enforcement are few and far between.

On her first mission, Bailey uncovers a murder that appears to have ties to something much larger. As she pieces together the details of the crime, she uncovers a series of connected events that lead her into the depths of a tangled conspiracy that spans decades. Along the way, she must confront her own vulnerabilities, as she grapples with the emotional weight of leaving her family behind in the future, and the uncertain relationships she forms in the past.

Bailey's investigations lead her to a series of crime scenes, each revealing a different side of the past she's come to inhabit. Yet the more she learns, the more the lines between past and present blur, pulling her deeper into the paradox she's been sent to unravel. As the clock ticks down, Bailey realizes that her mission might be more complicated than she could have ever imagined.

Past, Present, Paradox is an immersive blend of historical fiction, science fiction, and detective thriller. With every page, Bailey's journey explores the tension between progress and tradition, the weight of hidden histories, and the ethical dilemmas of time travel. As she delves into cases, forms unexpected alliances, and begins to understand the intricacies of a world she's only read about, she discovers that some mysteries-whether of the past or the future-are far from solvable. Will Bailey change the course of history, or will she become lost in the very paradox she's meant to solve
