The Timeless Globe
Where do we go when we dream and what if dreams could connect us to another time and place?
When oil executive Dan Sinclairis killed in a car accident on a business trip to Africa, his son, sixteen-year-old Danny, is haunted by guilt over a foolish argument they had the day he left. Unable to forgive himself, his only solace comes each night as he dreams, when he returns to find himself back with his dad again.
Then Danny’s whole world changes, the day he uncovers old letters in the attic that exactly mirror every one of the dreams he’s been having. Soon, he’s questioning if they are even dreams at all. Can dreams be real? Do ghosts exist and can they appear while you sleep?
What he discovers propels him on a journey across the globe in a quest to discover who his father really was and the truth of how he really died. But he is not alone in this race to the truth. Others are just as eager to keep whatever secrets Dan Sinclairhad uncovered buried, and they don’t care who gets hurt along the way.

I really enjoyed this.
It is the author's first book, and there are some weaknesses that arise from that.
But! Look beyond them!
The author has created a very "real" 16-year-old wrestling with difficult challenges, including a bereavement... but it's not all gloom and doom. Other bits of the book touch on the excitement of a first girlfriend. Again, the relationship seems very true to the real world.
Some family dynamics across three generations are beautifully depicted.
It takes a little time to emerge, but at the heart of the book is a "who done it" mystery, with the usual conundrums, bad guys, chances to try to figure things out before the author has to tell you what you haven't managed to guess.
There's some wonderful "painting" of life "beyond Kansas", specifically in a small, underdeveloped African nation.
Wales is also beautifully evoked.
A bit of the paranormal is used to weave the tale. Nothing outrageous. Adds spice.
Several plot elements seem trite... at first... and then the author twists them splendidly, to repurpose them, so they unfold DIFFERENTLY than they have in the past.
There's a thoughtful deep exploration of "right" and "wrong" near the end of the book.
Refreshing. Not "just another who done it"!
