Blurb: “

The villagers of Turbury were intrigued by the new arrivals at Caelogy Hall. For years the deserted mansion had crumbled behind its eight-foot walls, brooding over the terrible tragedies which had happened there.

The latest owner seemed very odd. Martyn Hamilton hid away his wife and Chinese servant-girl behind padlocked gates. Intruders were made unwelcome, and a savage dog roamed the grounds.

Then it started to sound - the curious oriental bell that Hamilton had specially installed in the old belfry.

When its first soft tones were heard one evening, the villagers stopped to listen. . and grew afraid. From that moment their fate was sealed. Day after day the bell tolled its sinister message. People began to sicken and die.

Violence, rape and murder convulsed the quiet community.

After his mother's horrifying death, Julian Dane returns to Turbury... and what he finds there makes him determined to uncover the foul secret of the Death Bell.”
