#eBook The Silenced Bell by Tanis Kalkan

The Silenced Bell

The clang of the Harrowby Cathedral bell had always been the sound of time itself—a steady, comforting rhythm that echoed across the town, binding its people together in both celebration and sorrow.

In the still of the early morning, its chime announced the start of another day, a quiet yet constant reminder that life, however uncertain, moved forward. But now, there was nothing.

A heavy silence hung over the town, thick and oppressive, as though the earth had simply paused, holding its breath. The sound of life seemed muffled, and with it, an eerie tension began to creep through the cobbled streets.

Detective Inspector Matthew Deacon stood at the foot of the cathedral steps, the image of composure in his dark, tailored suit. His broad shoulders stiffened as he surveyed the chaotic scene before him. Police officers shouting orders, reporters clambering for interviews, and curious onlookers whispering amongst themselves.

A DI Deacon Mystery

Tanis Kalkan, a former carpenter whose hammer-wielding days are thankfully behind him, now spends his retirement crafting intricate murder mysteries, much to the dismay of his bewildered neighbours. Obsessed with Inspector Morse, he attempts to inject a touch of Oxford charm into his own tales, often substituting local brews for fine wines and bewildered squirrels for startled deer.
