The Clockmaker's Cabinet

di Bessie N. Rodriguez (Autore)

Mudassir Lawan, 2026

A clock nobody will admit to sending. A wreck that is not where the record says. And a town that has agreed, for seventy nine years, that it was just the weather. January in Wrenn Harbor, and a longcase clock arrives at the Historical Society crated, prepaid, with the sender's name struck off the docket. Teddy Vance is hired to make it presentable before the Founders' tea. The treasurer takes one look at it and tells the President not to write it down. The trunk measures four and seven eighths inside and seven and a quarter outside. Nineteen millimetres are unaccounted for, and behind a batten held by three old nails and one new one there is a 1947 harbour chart, drawn by the keeper of the Bellwether Light, with a cross on the inner ledge four hundred yards from where four men are supposed to have died. With it, nine words in pencil: If this is found I am past caring. Eleven days later the treasurer is dead in a smelt shack on the ice, and the whole town has decided it was the stove before the tide has turned. The Clockmaker's Cabinet is the second Wrenn Harbor Salvage Mystery: a fair play puzzle built out of fuel returns, key books and minutes, in a place where nothing is hidden on purpose and everything is hidden by volume. A clean read. No graphic violence, no profanity, no explicit content. Complete mystery, fully resolved, with one series thread carrying into book three.
