When solicitor Phineas Larcombe telegrams Baker Street with two words - murder suspected - Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are drawn into a web of death that begins in a Clerkenwell clockmaker's workshop and reaches far darker places than either man could have imagined.

Ezekiel Brand, master horologist, is dead at his workbench. The police call it natural causes. His solicitor isn't so sure. Brand has left behind a singular clock - a masterwork of brass and oak with no numerals on its face - and a will that sets three former apprentices against one another to claim it.

Then a second man turns up dead. The clock, it seems, is not merely a timepiece. Brand hid something inside it. Something he could not say aloud in life.

Holmes and Watson must race to decode the dead man's final message before a third murder is committed - and before the truth Brand buried destroys more than just his legacy.

The Clockmaker's Bequest is a richly atmospheric Holmes adventure set in the fog and gaslight of 1889 London, where the most dangerous secrets tick quietly in plain sight.
