Echoes in the Clockworkby Jordan LissEvery second counts.Six months after the fall of the London Time Authority, the city still runs on fractured seconds. Streets glitch, districts drift out of sync, and the clocks have forgotten their rhythm.Detective Evelyn Shaw has tried to move on-until people begin vanishing from the slow zones and whispers rise again of a living clockwork beneath the Thames. The deeper she digs, the more the city itself seems to watch her.Haunted by what she broke and hunted by what survived it, Shaw must face the truth buried in her own pulse. Because London's heartbeat isn't slowing down-it's winding up.Dark, cinematic, and utterly gripping, Echoes in the Clockwork is a haunting blend of detective noir and speculative mystery-where time itself keeps the score.
