Clockwork

Peter Marklin #4

by Neville Steed

An inexplicable burglary at the local school, followed by a vicious murder in the gym, finds Peter Marklin of the Antique Toy Emporium involved in one of the most baffling cases the Dorset C.I.D. has ever faced. Painstakingly, Marklin follows a complex trail of unbridled ambition, corruption, deceit, misplaced pride and deadly prejudice. A trail that must claim another victim before it terminates on a deserted Dorset beach.
