The Hollow Bell
Eleanor Voss swore she would never set foot in Millhaven again, but a death in the family forces her back across the iron bridge and into a coastal Oregon town that still remembers every grudge. The passing of Lillian Greer stirs more than grief, it unearths a decades-old secret tied to the old bell tower, a contested inheritance, and the disappearance that haunts the Brennan and Marlowe bloodlines. Eleanor's return is met with cold shoulders from Harlan Greer, wary glances from Cora Whitfield, and the uneasy alliance of Margot Brennan, whose own questions about her father Arthur Brennan refuse to stay quiet. With the help of Daniel Croft, a man with his own reasons for watching the Greer estate, Eleanor begins to unravel the connections between past and present: the old debts owed to Wendell Avery, the silence of Tess Hollis and her son Jonah, and the cryptic behavior of Tommy Greer. Each clue brings her closer to a truth the town has guarded for generations, and to a killer who believes the bell has tolled for anyone who tries to ring it again. But to finally lay the ghosts of Millhaven to rest, she may have to sacrifice the only family she has left.
