John Dickson Carr, a master of the Golden Age British-style
mystery novel, presents Dr. Gideon Fell’s most chilling case, in which a
clock-obsessed killer terrorizes London
A clockmaker is
puzzled by the theft of the hands of a monumental new timepiece he is
preparing for a member of the nobility. That night, one of the stolen
hands is found buried between a policeman’s shoulder blades, stopping his clock for all time.
The
crime is just peculiar enough to catch the attention of Dr. Gideon
Fell, the portly detective whose formidable intellect is the terror of
every criminal in London. Working closely with Scotland Yard, he finds
that the case turns on the question of why the clock hands were
stolen. And learning the answer will put Dr. Fell squarely in the path
of a madman with nothing but time on his hands.

Carr can lead us away from the small, artificial world of the ordinary
