About the Book
It was supposed to be a simple and quick assignment for Marina DiPietro and Nick Donahue. Help Marina's client, Adnan bin Haddad, guard his fabulous racehorse, Devil Wind, from human predators who are threatening the stallion with death if millions aren't paid in "protection money." Just guard the horse and catch the attackers before they strike. If you're lucky. Turns out, the threat against the horse is just the opening gambit in a deadly game with ISIS. With events spiraling out of control, Nick and Marina must stop the terrorists from getting the real prize they're after: a weapon of mass destruction that could tear the world apart. Now, Nick has to use all the cunning, skill, and subterfuge he's acquired as a gambler to discover the 'tell' that will help him turn the predators into prey. And there's no time to lose.

Review :
"Out of Time by Cathi Stoler is a twisty, unputdownable thriller set in the world of horseracing, mobsters, and international conspiracy with a winning protagonist. Highly recommend this addition to the Nick Donahue series!" - Lee Matthew Goldberg, award-nominated author of The Mentor and The Great Gimmelmans
"Out of Time leaves you out of breath in the very best way! This pulse pounding, high stakes game could only be played by the deft hand of gambler extradordinaire, Nick Donahue. Underpinned by classic mystery elements dripping with peril, and comprised of an exceptionally engaging cast of characters, Out of Time is a delightful ride from start to finish." - Marie Sutro, Award-Winning Author of the Kate Barnes Series
"Take one debonair professional gambler, add a sexy private investigator, an Arab billionaire, and an ISIS terrorist group, shake from New York to Kentucky to Dubai, and stir in lots of mystery, intrigue, and danger. OUT OF TIME, Cathi Stoler's latest Nick Donahue mystery is a must read." - Catherine Maiorisi, author of the NYPD Detective Chiara Corelli Mysteries
"Stoler nimbly raises the stakes in this sequel that brings back urbane gambler/adventurer Nick Donahue in a fun, fast-moving caper." - Richie Narvaez, author of Holly Hernandez and the Death of Disco
"Smart, fast-paced, and infused with international intrigue. This crime solving duo is the new Nick and Nora Charles as they use their wit and subterfuge to prevent a deadly attack. Chandler would approve. Highly recommended." - James L'Etoile, award winning author of Dead Drop and Face of Greed
"Cathi Stoler's latest Nick Donohue adventure, Out of Time, delivers on the promise of its title. The plot is swift-moving, the characters are on the run, and the luxury settings are breathtaking. When the story opens Nick is on top of the world-or, to be more precise, tethered to the top of the world's tallest building. How this charming and resourceful gambler happens to land there, and how he gets himself down, make for a riveting read. There are thrills aplenty in this suspenseful novel, but Nick's deadpan delivery and ironic self-deprecating manner leaven the work with laugh-out-loud humor. Out of Time is a 2024 must-read." - Lori Robbins, award winning author of the On Pointe Mysteries
