The Clocks

A typist uncovers a man's body from behind the sofa...As instructed, stenographer Sheila Webb let herself into the house at 19 Wilbraham Crescent. It was then that she made a grisly discovery: the body of a dead man sprawled across the living room floor. What intrigued Poirot about the case was the time factor. Although in a state of shock, Sheila clearly remembered having heard a cuckoo clock strike three o'clock. Yet, the four other clocks in the living room all showed the time as 4.13. Even more strangely, only one of these clocks belonged to the owner of the house!

　　一座普通的临街公寓，一个被指定到那里发现尸体的年轻女孩，一具特地跑到那里被谋杀的身份不明的尸体，一个平凡孤单的年老盲女人以及四个突然冒出来的钟。其中一个，钟面上刻着：ROSEMARY。是在纪念谁？是在缅怀谁？还是在暗示着谁？ 　　
　　一条弯月形被拆分成两段的街道，一个写着61的便条，一群举止怪异的住户，还有14只猫，以及烦乱复杂的邻里关系。到底弯月代表着什么？61号的住户隐藏着什么秘密？谁才是男主角真正要找的间谍？ 　　
　　一个身份隐秘的年轻男人，一个身世不明的年轻女人，一次浪漫而又神奇的邂逅。凶杀案发生的时候，他们在同一条街上徘徊，然后相遇，然后相爱。对方是否就是道貌岸然的凶手，爱情在该于不该中举棋不定。是命中注定的悲哀，还是冥冥中上天的安排？
