Why are the patients of Bedlam waking every night at twelve minutes to midnight? What is the meaning of the strange messages they write? Who is the Spider Lady of South Kensington?
Penelope is always seeking mysteries to fill the pages of her magazine. But this isn't any ordinary story, it's the future.
And the future looks deadly...
