'On New Year’s Eve, Cal is chased down the street by a crazed man with a deadly warning: They killed your father. They’ll kill you. You must survive the next 365 days! Now everyone’s searching for Cal, the psycho kid who’s meant to have attacked his uncle and put his sister in a coma. He’s desperate to clear his name and protect his family, but he also has less than a year to solve an ancient family secret: the Ormond Singularity. And the closer he gets to the truth, the more dangerous his life becomes. He has 306 days. The threat is growing…' (Publication summary)

'The sound of screaming fills the air. Cal's identity has been stripped from him and he's been locked up in an asylum where danger lurks on both sides of the bars. He has no idea who has put him there, but the doctors are convinced Cal—Ben Galloway—is delusional, and have no intention of setting him free.

'Cal can't reach Great-uncle Bartholomew or solve the Dangerous Mystery of the Ormonds when he's wearing a straightjacket . . . No-one believes a word he says—not even the truth can save him now. The clock is ticking. Any second could be his last.

'Callum Ormond has been warned. He has 245 days. The countdown continues . . .' (From the publisher's website.)

'A high-speed chase gone wrong leaves Cal exposed to certain capture by Oriana's thugs. He knows if they succeed, any hope of seeing Gabbi alive again is remote. He has to get away, but how can he leave a man to drown?

'If Cal survives this, he must find a way to save his comatose sister, decipher the meaning of the precious Ormond Riddle and keep his friends and family safe. Even if he does make it to December 31, how will Cal ever have a normal life again?

'The clock is ticking. Any second could be his last.

'Callum Ormond has been warned. He has 275 days. The countdown continues . . .' (From the publisher's website.)

'Trapped, with a train bearing down on him, Cal's chances of survival look grim. The cops and criminal gangs are unrelenting - they want him behind bars ... or dead.

'The stakes are getting higher, but all the clues to the Ormond Singularity just lead to more puzzles, and more danger.

'Thwarted at every turn, it seems Cal has no hope of finding the answers. Is there anyone he can trust?

'The clock is ticking.

'Any second could be his last.'

'With seconds to spare, Cal escapes from the burning wreck of the Orca. Helicopters search from the sky, while Oriana's thugs chase on foot. There's no time to think about his dead great-uncle—Cal must dodge the cops and crims, and return to his pursuit of the Ormond Jewel.

'Convinced Sligo has the Jewel, Cal embarks on a dangerous break-in mission to retrieve it. He hopes it will give him the answers he needs, but what if it reveals another menacing mystery? Stealing from his enemies could prove to be a fatal mistake . . .

'The clock is ticking. Any second could be his last.

'Callum Ormond has been warned. He has 215 days. The countdown continues . . .' (From the publisher's website.)

'Cal's old life ended as soon as the deadly 365-day countdown began. So far he's been attacked by sharks, blamed for a vicious assault on his family, kidnapped by two criminal gangs, and left to drown in a fast-filling oil tank...

'He's a hunted fugitive who'll do anything to survive. But is Cal desperate enough to befriend a traitor with killer connections? Or risk returning to the scene of his attempted murder? Should he meet with a mysterious informant, when it could be a set-up?
