"Gerry Wade had proved himself to be a champion sleeper, so the other houseguests decided to play a practical joke on him. Eight alarm clocks were set to go off, one after the other, starting at 6:30 a.m. But when morning arrived, one clock was missing and the prank then backfired, with tragic consequences. For Jimmy Thesiger in particular, the words "Seven Dials" were to take on a new and chilling significance..."@en
"CRIME & MYSTERY FICTION. When a practical joke played on Gerry Wade involving alarm clocks turns out to be murder, the case is taken up by Lady "Bundle" Brent and Jimmy Thesiger.

"Lazy Gerry Wade is always last to rise, but something is deadly wrong when eight alarm clocks fail to rouse him. The fatal dose of chloral, a sleeping aid, is suspicious to Lady Eileen "Bundle" Brent, one of London's bright young things and mistress of Chimneys, the estate where Wade expired. A second corpse confirms the crime, and with Superintendent Battle's blessing the gutsy amateur sleuth enters an underworld of secret clubs and subterfuge. Emilia Fox's superb performance perfectly captures Bundle Brent and her fashionable entourage."@en
