Till the Clock Stops

Young Alan Craig has one burning ambition: to reach the Arctic. When he secures backing from the Aasvogel Syndicate, it seems his dream is finally within reach. But his dying uncle Christopher holds secrets that could shatter everything, a cache of diamonds, a mystery that implicates the very men who funded his expedition. As the clock ticks toward his uncle's final breath, Alan must navigate a web of loyalty, greed, and buried truth. The will ties together Alan, his benefactor Robert Lancaster, and the enigmatic Francis Bullard in ways none of them anticipate. What begins as a straightforward expedition transforms into something far darker: a meditation on what we sacrifice for our dreams, and what we inherit beyond money.
