When George’s father died, he left his son a watchmaker’s shop—and a whole lot more.
But George has little talent for watches and other infernal devices. When someone tries to steal an old device from the premises, George finds himself embroiled in a mystery of time travel, wild music and sexual intrigue.
"This is the real thing—a mad inventor, curious coins, murky London alleys and windblown Scottish Isles…a wild and extravagant plot that turns up new mysteries with each succeeding page." —James P. Blaylock
