But all is not as it seems and Gus is plunged into a dangerous world of lies and espionage that reaches far beyond the play and its players, leaving Gus fighting for his life. As Gus lies unconscious, he attempts to unravel the strange events of that summer - his renewed friendship with time travelling Jaz, from 2404, who takes him back in time to meet his hero, Shakespeare; the mysterious theft of the Kohinoor Diamond from the Tower of London, and the shadowy figure of his actor agent, Oliver Salieri. Time Lies is the sequel to Time Passages.
