The setting is The Inn of the Seventy-Seven Clocks, which overlooks placid Lake Metedeconk in northern Vermont. On first encounter it appears to be a typical cozy bed and breakfast retreat where guests go for a little rest and recreation. But this charming bed and breakfast is anything but typical. Its guest list includes a missing priest who is presumed murdered; a Texas congressman and his mistress who are the objects of an intense national search after vanishing into the wilds of northern New England; and a Jewish billionaire who is mad for power and determined to make himself Pope.
Other guests include a notorious underworld figure who writes children's books when he is not working in the mob, and a famous British-born inspector, J. Pequod Dyxx and his clairvoyant wife, Evangeline. There are many twists and turns in the narration when all these characters get together inTthe Inn of the Seventy-Seven Clocks.
