Big mistake reading this immediately after the same author's "Run in Time." The whole present tense issue was still present and accounted for. No big deal. The issue is I felt like I was reading the same book over again. Both set in Baltimore, both have young former Olympic athletes, both of those athletes live in loft style buildings over a ground floor garage where they both have all the same cars, both have two dogs, both of these athletes golf and travel for personal appearances. The other main characters in both stories have an issue which could cause a wedge: a world famous action star being outed/dying while waiting for a heart transplant. Even the conversations they would have had a sameness to them. This wasn't a "bad" book, just a disappointing one.
