For whom the bell tolls. — Cuthbert "Clanger" Bell, the town drunk, died exactly as everyone in Breckham Market had predicted: he staggered out of his favorite pub and into the path of an oncoming car. Three respected citizens witnessed the incident, and all called it an accident. But Eunice Bell, the dead man's sister, demanded that Chief Inspector Quantrill investigate her brother's murder. With no evidence and no real inclination to pursue the charge, Quantrill -- his usual enthusiasm for investigation dimmed by his troubled marriage and his growing desire for the attractive Sergeant Hilary Lloyd -- didn't expect Miss Bell's accusation to lead anywhere... certainly not to a brutal murder or, for Quantrill himself, to the tragic results of love and desire.

Man hatte sie so lange im Dunkeln eingeschlossen, daß die Sonne sie traf wie ein Schlag. Ihr Kopf schmerzte unter der Hitze, und das Licht blendete ihre Augen. Sie versuchte zu rennen, brachte aber nur das Torkeln einer Betrunkenen zustande. Sie versuchte nach Hilfe zu schreien, brachte aber nur ein schwaches Krächzen heraus. Er war hinter ihr.
