      About This Book

      THE HAND OF A CLOCK POINTS TO DEATH!

      In the shadowy hallway of the clockmaker's old house a policeman is found murdered, a steel clock hand embedded in his neck. A thing with gilt-painted hands scuttles across London rooftops. These are just two of the frightening scenes in Dr. Gideon Fell's most frightening case -- a case that starts with a knife-wielding shoplifter and ends with the portly detective using a madman to capture a murderer!
