The Clock Shop: Emit Levart - Paperback

by Richard Ashland (Author)

Rikker felt his gut tightening up. After thirty years as an intelligence officer, he always thought six steps ahead of everyone else. He always knew what to expect, and most of the time he was right. He didn't like surprises and avoided them by being better than the other guy. But this was different, he'd been caught off guard, and, he had no idea of what to expect. In the back of his head he could hear Mary's voice saying, 'what if, Charles, what if?'

Colonel Charles Rikker is too logical to believe that anything mysterious or dark has entered his life. He's risked his life for countless covert operations, and he has always known the risks involved. But this journey is only a project, a simple trip to find an antique grandfather clock. His mind is as fit as his body, but nothing could prepare Charles for the Emit Levart Clock Shop.

The entire world has heard and seen reports of the unexplained deaths of some of the world's most prominent scientists and engineers, and also of America's favorite billionaire. But Charles learns the horrifying truth-only because it came to him in the clock shop. He doesn't know why he has been chosen, but he does know that if he tries to explain the peculiar circumstances, no one will believe him anyway.
