First draft
When a retired school bell from a closed village school is displayed at Bracken House, a small inheritance dispute turns into something far uglier after a local solicitor is found dead in the conservatory. Nora Keane, who knows the village well enough to notice what people leave out, starts asking awkward questions that most of her neighbours would rather avoid.
