Driven to find answers for both the present and the past, Evan is relentless in his pursuit of justice. But as old secrets come to light and the investigation intensifies, Evan realizes the SAD Killer's legacy isn't as distant as he believed---the danger may be closer than anyone imagines.

After his death, his workshop is sealed-until his granddaughter Lena Halberg inherits it. Inside, Lena discovers dozens of unusual clocks: one ticks too slowly one spins backwards one chimes at random times one has no hands at all At first she thinks they're simply strange inventions. But then something unsettling happens. Every clock seems to be counting down to the same moment. With the help of her curious best friend Theo, Lena begins investigating the clocks and her grandfather's journals. They discover that Edmund believed time itself could fracture. Years ago he detected a strange phenomenon: at a precise moment in the future, time in their town will collapse, trapping everyone in an endless loop. The clocks are not random creations. Each one measures a different piece of time: seconds lost moments forgotten memories time moving backward Together, they form a warning system. But someone else knows about the clocks. A powerful collector named Mr. Varrick wants them-because if the clocks are assembled correctly, they could allow someone to control time itself. As the final countdown approaches, Lena must figure out the true purpose of the clocks and complete her grandfather's unfinished invention: the Master Clock, which can stabilize time before it shatters. But building it means risking getting trapped outside of time forever.
