What to expect
A locked-room mystery packed with rooftop chases, hidden codes and mind-bending science, The Clockwork Conspiracy is a must for fans of the Adventures on Trains series and Sharna Jackson's High Rise mysteries.
Aspiring inventor Isaac Turner lives with his dad, the horologist in charge of Big Ben. But when his father vanishes from the belfry on the night the clocks go back, leaving behind only a smashed pocket watch and a cryptic message, Isaac determines to find him.
Hunting a trail of clues through London’s landmarks, Isaac uncovers a sinister plot in the gears of government and embarks on a race against time to save his father – and time itself.

A race of a read. Once you open this book you will not be able to stop reading until the very last sentence. It is the definition of a page-turner. Thrilling, exciting and compelling, Sam Sedgman has written a clever adventure ruled by time and rife with political intrigue, constructing a plot with unexpected twists and turns. A refreshingly contemporary adventure and brilliant fun.
