Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Whispers The small back room of the shop was so still that the ticking of the clock on the wall - a small, quick-spoken thing of nickel - was like the sounding of an alarm, or an agitated voice uttering a warning.

The shops were closed and dark save for the night-lamps which burned dimly in the mean little temples of trade along the thoroughfare. Half an hour ago a policeman had passed along the pavement, peering through the grimy windows, trying the doors. He had made sure that no one was stirring. Later, far down the street, his stick on the pavement had shattered the stillness of the night. In the back room where the clock ticked a man sat alone.
