The clocks / Agatha Christie. - Pocket book edition. - [3] pages leaves, 246 pages ; 18 cm

Sheila Webb, a typist-for-hire, has arrived at 19 Wilbraham Crescent to accept a new job. What she finds is a well-dressed corpse surrounded by five clocks, each one set to a different time. Even more mysterious is the fact that no living soul ever requested Miss Webb's services. By the time the authorities arrive, four of the clocks have vanished. And unfortunately, the blind mistress of Number 19 never saw a thing. Luckily the retired Hercule Poirot has nothing but time to piece together one of the most baffling puzzles of his career.
