When a priceless heirloom, the Thakore Timepiece, vanishes from a locked museum room without a trace, the city is stunned - and Detective Dujo is called in. But what begins as a high-profile theft quickly reveals deeper secrets: ancient rivalries, forged documents, and a trail of deceptions hidden behind ticking clocks. As Dujo and his team follow the clues through forgotten archives, mysterious guilds, and hidden vaults, they discover that this is no ordinary theft. The stolen clock may hold the key to a conspiracy stretching back generations. In a race against time, Dujo must outsmart brilliant forgers, silent enemies, and even his own doubts to solve the case before the truth itself disappears. The Mystery of a Clock is a sharp, intelligent mystery packed with locked-room puzzles, clever twists, and the timeless question: what is truly priceless - an object, or the truth it hides?
