Weβve buried 12 emerald-studded numbersβeach handmade and one of a kindβin 12 holes across the United States. These treasures will belong to whoever digs them up first. The question: Where to dig? The only path to the answer: Solve the riddles of The Clock Without a Face! THE BOOK The call comes in from the shadowy Ternky Tower: 13 robberies, one on each floor, all the way up to the penthouse, where obnoxious importer Bevel Ternky has been relieved of the numbers garlanding the legendary Emerald Khroniker, his priceless, ancient clock. Readers must conduct their own investigations, scouring detailed illustrations for hidden clues and knotty puzzles. All your answers can be found within this book: whodunit and howβ¦ and where the real numbers are buried now. THE NUMBERS Twelveβand only twelveβemerald-bedecked integers sleep somewhere in this nationβs soil. If you can find them, theyβre yours to keepβand only this book can tell you where they are. So read the story carefully, and examine the illustrations closely. The race is on!
