About
Paris. Winter 1750. In the hope of a better life, the former prostitute Madeleine gets a job as a maid in the house of the famous watchmaker Reinhart. On the instructions of the police, the girl must find out what the watchmaker really does, because there are persistent rumors around the city that Reinhart creates his outlandish mechanisms-jeweled birds, silver spiders, rabbits, bats-using magic, defying the laws of nature. But in the watchmaker's house, Madeleine feels extremely uncomfortable: it seems to her that she is constantly under the gun of other people's eyes.
Things take an even more sinister turn when children begin to disappear from the streets. Madeleine, determined to find out the truth, realizes with horror that she may be dealing with a conspiracy that leads to the very heart of Versailles. But what lies behind this conspiracy? Who is this hot girl? And what is Madeleine really looking for? The Clockwork Girl is a stunning tale of obsession, illusion, and the price of freedom. For the first time in Russian!
