The Bell Tower

About the book

Working on Death Row comes with a few simple rules:

- Do not let the inmates get under your skin.
- Do not allow any prisoners to escape.
- Do not take justice into your own hands.

Garrett Nelson will break every one of them.

After a drugs bust goes wrong, Deputy Sheriff Garrett Nelson is left with a limp and, unfit for active police service, accepts a job at a Florida penitentiary on an old Spanish mission.
The prison's chapel, a working bell tower, is now an execution chamber.

But after a terrible mistake leads to an escape and manhunt through the Everglades, Nelson must decide whether his first duty is to the law or to himself? And could doing the right thing mean taking an innocent man to the bell tower?

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.
