(Who?)
"Mathes
presents the fourth entry in this unique series, stand-alone novels sharing
only the titular focus on a particular "girl." In this quirky,
captivating tale, Jane Sailor, a teacher of stage combat and choreographer of
theater fights, receives a shocking phone call at her current job in
Cincinnati. Jane quickly returns to Manhattan, where her father, a painter who
has been in a coma for eight years, is starting to talk. He reveals the
startling news that the cause of his coma--a fall down the stairs of his Soho
loft--wasn't an accident and that a man named Perry was somehow involved.
After discovering that Perry is a childlike billionaire and collector of rare
clocks named Peregrine Mannerback, she takes a job with the curious man to
investigate the connection. As Jane struggles to find answers--both to Perry's
involvement with her father and to the significance of her grandmother's
hideous clock--she becomes a target herself. Superb storytelling and a truly
memorable plot. "
