He inherited a watchmaker's store -- and a whole heap of trouble. But idle sometime-musician George has little talent for clockwork. And when a shadowy figure tries to steal an old device from the premises, George finds himself embroiled in a mystery of time travel, music and sexual intrigue. A genuine lost classic, a steampunk original whose time has come. From the author who coined the term *steampunk*. Number 1 in the George Dower trilogy.
