In the flooded ruins of Valdenmoor — a city half-swallowed by an inland sea that should not exist — Detective Mara Voss receives a case file with no sender, no badge number, and no case number. Inside: a photograph of a drowned man clutching a clock whose hands are moving backward. By the time she looks up from the file, the city is flooding again. And someone has been watching her apartment for three days without moving.
The Drowning Clock is a 52-chapter immersive thriller of rising water, buried identity, a conspiracy stretching across a century, and one woman’s descent into the truth at the bottom of things — where the drowned keep their secrets, and the clocks never stop.
