Murder by the Clock
Rufus King
A tense mystery unfolds over one fateful night as a woman's worried call to the police sets off a cascade of secrets and suspicions. In the elegant drawing rooms and shadowed corridors of high society, everyone has something to hide—and someone has committed murder.
Mrs. Endicott's anxiety about her nephew Herbert's mysterious absence propels her to contact the police. What begins as a worried inquiry transforms into a full-scale murder investigation when a death occurs under suspicious circumstances. Detective work and psychological intrigue interweave as various characters are drawn into the vortex of suspicion. Murder by the Clock showcases Rufus King's mastery of the mystery genre, with carefully planted clues and a clever twist that challenges readers to solve the crime before the final revelation. The novel's minute-by-minute structure emphasizes the ticking clock element, building tension with each passing hour through the long night of investigation.
