Paris. Winter of 1750. Hoping for a better life, former prostitute Madeleine is employed as a maid in the house of the famous watchmaker Reinhart. On the assignment of the police the girl must find out what the watchmaker is really doing, because there are persistent rumors in the city, as if Reinhart creates his outlandish mechanisms - jeweled birds, silver spiders, rabbits, bats - with the help of magic, defying the laws of nature. But Madeleine feels extremely uncomfortable in the clockmaker's house: she feels as if she is constantly in the crosshairs of strangers. Events take an even more sinister turn when children begin to disappear from the streets. Madeline, determined to find out the truth, realizes with horror that she may be dealing with a conspiracy that leads to the heart of Versailles. But what lies at the heart of this conspiracy? Who is the wind-up girl? And what is Madeleine really looking for? "The Clockwork Girl" is a stunning tale of obsession, illusions, and the price of freedom.
