The Clock Tower and the Scientist: An Allasneda Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789566139072)

"To save himself from a life in prison, Thomas Belger, an inventor and scientist, must unravel the mystery of a village lost in time, where a series of inexplicable deaths have driven people to the brink of madness. He suspects it may involve a ghost, but he also understands that specters don't act without reason.

In his quest for truth, he must contend with an enigmatic young woman who captures his heart, and confront the murderous intentions hidden beneath a legend of witchcraft. He finds himself ensnared in a witchhunt targeting newcomers employed by a factory that brings toxic prosperity, realizing too late that he should never have agreed to this arrangement.

This tale of mystery and despair transports us to the unknown region of "Allasneda", an alternate setting within the magical lands of southern Chile. Here, ghosts, witches, and the science fiction of the Victorian era intertwine, weaving fables starring courageous women and men confronting a world rife with prejudice."
