This is a most unexpected pleasure - cross genre, nicely twisty and bendy, just flat out entertaining at points.
From the Blurb:
It's 2027, suburban Malaga, Western Australia. Ex-cop Aloysius 'Spider' Webb is working as a time-machine repairman - and people are crazy about time travel. Spider is getting on okay (if you put to one side his failed marriage and dead-end career) until he discovers the mutilated body of a woman in a second-hand time machine. What starts out as just another repair job on a faulty time machine becomes a battle for what lies at the very End of Time.
Opening Lines:
'If it's another dead cat,' said Aloysius 'Spider' Webb, senior time machine technician, 'you're buying the next round.'
