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
