For my 20th Teaser Tuesday I'm bringing teasers from Friday the Sixteenth by Peter Coombs.
Goodreads synopsis
He stumbled across a web of lies. His conscience wouldn't let him walk away.
Andrew Packford, newly established as an antiques dealer, is enjoying life very much. He has a career that suits his laid back nature, a passion for antiques and business is booming.
Then, as is often the case, fate comes calling. While restoring an item of furniture he finds an old newspaper article together with a photograph of four people. Two men two women. He has no idea just how much these four strangers will change his life.
One of them kills people.
One of them turns a blind eye.
The other two might just be Andrew’s salvation.
The discovery opens a Pandora’s box and while a lesser man might have walked away, that is not his way. If he didn’t stand up for what he thought was right who would? Friday the Sixteenth is a gripping read with a memorable character at its heart.

My teasers
"The ambulance station received the call at twelve minutes past three. They had arrived at the quarry at twenty-one minutes past three and left five minutes later. That left them just six minutes to get to the hospital fifteen miles away.
The journey took thirteen minutes and forty-two seconds."
