The Clockwise Man (novel)
Publisher's Summary
In 1920s London, the Doctor and Rose find themselves caught up in the hunt for a mysterious murderer. But not everything is what it seems. Secrets lie behind locked doors and inhuman killers roam the streets.
Who is the Painted Lady and why is she so interested in the Doctor? How can a cat return from the dead? Can anyone be trusted to tell -- or even to know -- the truth?
With the faceless killers closing in, the Doctor and Rose must solve the mystery of the Clockwise Man before London itself is destroyed...

Notes
As Book 1 of the Ninth Doctor Adventures line, this book ushered in a new publication format for BBC Books, which will exclusively release this and all future NDA, Tenth Doctor Adventures, and Torchwood novels in hardcover format (although the Quick Reads novellas will remain as paperback releases and some limited-edition promotional paperback issues of NDA and TDA books would occur outside the UK). The Clockwise Man is the first Doctor Who novel to be released in hardcover since Target Books discontinued publishing hardcover editions of its novelisations in the 1980s, and it is the first original Doctor Who novel ever issued in the format.
