Publisher Description
Jim is a New York City firefighter wrestling with the challenges of urban living and the stresses of a dangerous occupation.
But he is also battling demons within himself.
Is something from the past actually lurking deep inside him or are the vague memories of indistinct people and intense flashbacks of unfamiliar objects mere illusions? Can he share such thoughts with Laura, the woman in his life, whose affluent background contrasts sharply with his working-class roots? In A Moment in Time, you will crawl down burning hallways and experience the hidden side of New York City. It explores the underbelly of urban existence and portrays an intimate view of the world of firefighting. But it also examines what it means to share and to love and addresses a broader existential question. Is it possible that our current lives are merely extensions of previous incarnations?

Interesting. Not what I was expecting really. The book was actually, to me, a fantasy, rather than the thriller I expected. Chief Dunne wrote some of, if not the best, firefighting chapters I’ve ever read. The reincarnation story left me a little hazy I guess. I’d love to see more of the firefighting in the next one.
The tenement fire, the firehouse, the arson story, the Mayday, the characters in the firehouse. Even Jim’s life. There was more there. Maybe I just didn’t get it. I’ll still read his next one.
