The Bell Tower
Set on Death Row in 1970s Florida, THE BELL TOWER is the brand new literary suspense thriller from an award-winning, international bestselling author of A QUIET BELIEF IN ANGELS
LIFE ON DEATH ROW TAKES ITS TOLL.
UNTIL YOU CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE...
Death Row duty comes with three simple rules:
Do not make it personal
Do not question the system
Do not take justice into your own hands
Garrett Nelson will break every one of them.
Injured during a drug bust, Deputy Garrett Nelson finds himself out of the Sheriff's Department. Uncertain of his future, he takes a job at a Florida Penitentiary. Situated on the grounds of an old Spanish mission, the bell tower is now an execution chamber.
After a dangerous manhunt for escaped convicts through the Everglades, Nelson's belief in the justice system is tested to the limit. In a heartbreaking conflict of duty versus conscience, he must decide whether he's willing to let the State execute an innocent man, or risk his own life and family in order to find the truth.
Gripping and heart-breaking by turns, and beautifully set against the backdrop of Florida's Everglades, The Bell Tower is the latest literary suspense novel from the award-winning, internationally bestselling author of A Quiet Belief in Angels.
