About this title

From the Inside Flap:

ock went off with the bloodcurdling scream of a woman in mortal terror!  Who could have made such a clock--and why?

The Three Investigators immediately set out to discover where the mysterious clock came from.  When they come across a run-down house in Hollywood, they find an entire room full of dreadful clocks--and time is running out!

"I won't!" refused Bob stubbornly.  "I won't telephone anybody.  I've told everything I know..."

The man held the blowtorch in his hand, a bright yellow flame hissing from it.  He brought it toward Bob, until Bob could feel the heat on his face and had to close his eyes against the brilliant light.

"Now, my boy," he said very softly, "would you rather telephone or would you rather have a blowtorch haircut?"
