In an alternate Victorian London, a reclusive watchmaker’s widow is suspected of building forbidden machines. When bodies begin appearing, each with missing timepieces inside, she must clear her name—before she becomes the final clue.
The clocks in Ashbourne Street struck thirteen when the first body was found.
It lay face-up in the gutter, steam still rising from the man’s collar. His eyes were wide
with disbelief, his lips parted as if to voice a final protest. But the most disturbing
detail—the one that made the constables pale and the coroner hesitate—was the hole
in his chest. Not from a bullet. Not from blade. But as if something had been carefully,
cruelly removed.
