The Broken Clock Alibi

By Cleo Harting

A stopped clock. A spliced threat. A repairer who knows every object keeps a record. After repair specialist Kit March publicly threatens the developer planning to demolish Mendwell Arcade, he is found dead inside her volunteer repair caf , and a customer's cassette appears to have recorded her threat. The station clock fixes the fatal moment at 9:12. Kit knows the clock was altered and the tape was spliced. To clear her name, she must read the broken objects left behind: a false pocket, a hurried stitch, a model rib, a repaired counterweight, and labels designed to lie. In a community where almost everyone had a reason to stop the redevelopment, the hardest question is not who wanted the victim gone. It is who understood how to make time itself provide an alibi. A warm, fair-play mystery about useful work, complicated loyalties, and the things a community chooses to keep.
