A murdered undertaker. A missing clockmaker. A family secret.
In life, eccentric aristocrat Lady Frances Capel was known for her habit of setting challenging puzzles, but the problem she leaves behind after her death looks unsolvable. When the undertaker is found dead at her funeral, DCI Jude Satterthwaite is left with a headache for a whole host of reasons, and a case he’d very much rather not be working on.
Jude’s suspicions that the key to the mystery lies in Lady Frances’s will and with a decades-old family secret are confirmed when he receives a cryptic message from reclusive local clockmaker Gil Foley, but when he follows up Gil has vanished. Convinced that this has something to do with the undertaker’s death, Jude finds the stakes raised sky-high when he realises that his ex-partner, Becca Reid, is involved in Gil’s disappearance.
With both Becca and Gil in grave danger, Jude and his colleague DS Ashleigh O’Halloran find themselves in a race against the clock. Can they solve the mystery before time runs out and a second life is lost?
