Thaniel works at the Whitehall Telegraph Office where warnings of the Clan na Gael bombings are received. Clockwork devices time the explosions but which London watchmaker is manufacturing these? Helped by Grace, a physics student from Oxford and Mori, a Japanese watchmaker, Thaniel races against time to prevent the next atrocity. This first novel, with brilliant characters, is clever, funny, exciting, tender and extremely atmospheric.
