The brilliantly paced and irresistibly suspenseful new
novel in the Detective Hazel Micallef series takes this
"perfectly original" (Gillian Flynn) detective into the
maelstrom of two murder cases.
The new novel in this
acclaimed series is brilliantly paced, addictively
suspenseful—the author's best yet.
Hazel Micallef
(played by Susan Sarandon in the recent film of the series'
debut, The Calling) has become one of crime
writing's most memorable detectives.The Night
Bellmoves between the past and the present in Port
Dundas, Ontario, as two mysteries converge. A discovery of
the bones of murdered children is made on land that was once
a county foster home. Now it's being developed as a brand
new subdivision whose first residents are already railing
against broken promises and corruption. But when three of
these residents are murdered after the discovery of the
children's bones, frustration turns to
terror.
While trying to stem the panic and solve
two crimes at once, Hazel Micallef finds her memory stirred
back to the fall of 1959, when the disappearance of a girl
from town was blamed on her adopted brother. Although he is
long dead, she begins to see the present case as a chance to
clear her brother's name, something that drives Hazel beyond
her own considerable limits and right into the sights of an
angry killer.
