In the heart of Geneva's cobblestoned old town, Mary Wilcox finds herself in a new role as the governess in a clockmaker's museum-house.  

 

As she adapts to caring for the curator's child, the countless clocks begin to chime erratically at midnight. 

 

Mary uncovers a sinister plot behind the museum's serene facade, whispers of wartime secrets and cunning espionage.  

 

Now, as the hands of every clock point to danger, Mary must parse through history's silent witnesses to unveil a truth that some would prefer remained buried within the gears.  

 

 “A masterpiece of thriller and mystery.”
