Ealing, 1992. No mobile phones. No internet. No CCTV watching every street corner — just instinct, shoe leather, and a library card. Claire M. Williams, private investigator at Clocktower Enquiries, prefers to work quietly: no headlines, no glory, just answers. A gentle, atmospheric mystery for readers who miss the days before technology solved every case — and who like their detectives modest, clever, and quietly brilliant.

ET001: A BRUSH WITH FATE
Operating out of Clocktower Enquiries, Claire M. Williams is known as the "shy private eye"—a detective who handles the quiet, complex cases others won’t touch. In a world before modern technology, Claire relies on old newspapers, careful observation, and a gold initial pendant she holds to shut out the world and focus. But when a wrong word and a fleeting glance reveal a hidden conspiracy, she must piece together a dangerous puzzle before the truth is buried forever.
This time she has to figure out how a local artist died, and what secret did she has that was worth being killed for.
