Former soldier, now private detective, Slim Hardy has booked an out of season holiday near Bodmin Moor. He needs time on his own to walk in the moors and to avoid alcohol as he has an addiction.
Whilst out walking he trips and then finds an old and unfinished cuckoo clock which had been buried in the ground. The clock is still ticking. Slim takes the clock to the local town to get a valuation. He is told it was made by Amos Birch who lived in Penleven and disappeared over 20 years ago.
Slim is determined to find out why Amos disappeared. He asks lots of questions in the local villages and hears lots of rumours, secrets and lies. Many people encourage him to leave this investigation, but he needs to find answers.
