| Summary | "Tilt the Clock Stops" by J. J. Bell is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around Alan Craig, a young man eager to embark on an Arctic expedition, and the complex dynamics between him and several other characters who intertwine their fates through a will, diamonds, and the looming presence of death. The opening of the book introduces Alan as he finalizes a significant agreement in the directors' room of the Aasvogel Syndicate that will enable him to fulfill his long-held ambition of exploring the Arctic. He expresses heartfelt gratitude to the men supporting him, particularly to Robert Lancaster and Francis Bullard, who have provided financial backing. As the scene unfolds, it is revealed that Alan has a strained relationship with his Uncle Christopher Craig, who is nearing death and holds a mystery surrounding a valuable collection of diamonds. This prologue sets the stage for a narrative rich with themes of ambition, loyalty, the implications of wealth, and the secrets that lie within familial bonds, all of which promise to evolve intriguingly as the plot unfolds.
