Produktbeschreibung
London, 1948. The war is over - at least on paper. But beneath Westminster, the clocks are still ticking. Jack Falcon, former military intelligence officer and now the quiet shadow of Department 7 - a branch the government swears doesn't exist - is called to investigate an impossible death inside Whitehall. What begins as a murder becomes something far worse: a machine-precise execution, triggered by time itself. Every clue leads deeper - into abandoned tunnels drowned in fog and memory, to a vanished wartime engineer obsessed with perfect synchronization, and to a secret society that believes time is the ultimate weapon. Their name is Horologium. And they intend to reset London like a broken watch. From the Charing Cross underworld to the beating heart of Big Ben, Falcon must stop a clockwork network capable of firing death across the city with mathematical precision. But Mallory, the rogue clockmaker, may not have been the enemy. Worse - someone inside Whitehall is still winding the mechanism. Because time does not pass in London. It obeys. For fans of le Carré, Sherlock Holmes, and The Prestige - a cinematic, gaslit espionage thriller where time itself kills.
Autorenporträt
Martin Swan is a British author and digital creator known for reviving the golden age of pulp fiction through fast-paced thrillers, historical mysteries, and sharp-tongued detective tales. With a deep love for classic storytelling and vintage heroes, Martin writes with cinematic flair, breathing new life into icons like Sherlock Holmes and Bulldog Drummond for modern readers. When he's not crafting globe-trotting espionage or tongue-in-cheek cozy mysteries, Martin curates digital content for indie authors and builds faceless income systems using AI and storytelling. He lives somewhere between a foggy London alleyway and a Havana speakeasy-depending on what chapter he's writing.
