About this book:

When the city of Veridia is haunted by a killer who leaves ornate clock faces frozen at the cardinal hours, Detective Elijah Thorne realizes the murders are no random spree—they’re a twisted game of time. Each victim bears the mark of a broken cog, a silent taunt that points to a mind obsessed with precision, chemistry, and the relentless march of minutes.

As Thorne and his forensic‑pathologist sister race against a ticking shadow, they uncover a lethal neurotoxin, custom‑crafted clues hidden in brass etchings, and a pattern that threatens to strike again at the next chime. The deeper they dig, the more the line between hunter and hunted blurs, and the city itself feels like a giant, quite literally, hold its breath.

*Shadow of the Broken Clock* fuses relentless suspense with a haunting, clockwork mythology that will keep you turning pages long past midnight. If you crave a thriller where every second counts and the truth is buried in the gears of time, this is the next read you can’t afford to miss.
