About this audiobook
Borrowed Time is a crime novel about a detective who has spent his whole career showing up for other people's worst days, and has never once let anyone show up for his.
John Shepherd has been a homicide inspector with the San Francisco Police Department for longer than most of his colleagues have been alive. He is an ex-Marine who still carries the Zippo he brought home from Beirut. He drives a black 1987 Buick Grand National on the job because he bought it new, he closes cases, and the department stopped arguing with him years ago. He smokes Camels. He keeps a flat pint of Jim Beam behind the registration in the glove box. He lives alone in the Outer Sunset, in the house where his wife died, with a bedroom door at the end of the hall that he has not opened in more than twenty years.
