The Search for Hickory Dickery Dock's Clock - Moran, Lee

. .

Résumé :
Everyone in the world knows about the most famous nursery rhyme ever told-that's right, Hickory Dickery Dock and the mouse that ran up the clock. But wait! Did you know that the mouse that ran up the clock was named Terrance, that Hickory and Dickery were twin brothers, or that Dock was the most famous clockmaker in all of London? Well, if the answer is no, then you mustn't know about England's greedy king, or why the Hickory Dickery Dock clock ended up in Beijing, China, and created the world's longest unsolved mystery. Come, join Morris and his friend Fenton on a luxury liner out of San Francisco's bay, travel with them to Beijing's hall of clocks, and be amazed at how they befuddle China's secret police, and at the same time solve a two-hundred-year-old mystery by having the clock returned, but not to England, no, to the John Paul Getty museum in Los Angeles, California. Lee Moran is a retired quality engineer from Lockheed, Martin, and is currently enjoying the good life in Sarasota, Florida. Golf, bowling, beaching, and writing take up most of his time today, but Lee has been a busy boy in real life. He's a former policeman, an elected town selectman, a civil defense director, and a pipefitter on the Alaskan pipeline. Lee is currently striving to be a remembered author, and is proud of his recently published book that's titled The Unexpected Patriot.
