In Lake Forest, money buys silence.
Until someone rings the dead bell.
Faith Wesley was untouchable: a pillar of Lake Forest society, married into power, protected by reputation.
Then she's found in her own garden, garroted with chilling precision, and the evidence is already washing away.
Detective Tom Edison is called in to solve what the town wants forgotten. But the deeper he digs into the Wesley family's privileged world, the more the case begins to dig into him.
Tom is already fractured: haunted by a childhood accident that never stopped replaying in his head, and freshly abandoned by the only person who ever tried to keep him steady.
When an attraction to a close Wesley family friend pulls him off balance, and Internal Affairs turns its attention on him, Tom realizes he's not just chasing a killer.
He's walking straight into the crosshairs of the most powerful people in Illinois, a corrupt department, and a murder the city buried decades ago.
To catch Faith Wesley's killer, Tom will have to confront the one thing he's spent his life avoiding:
His own ghosts.
If you love crime thrillers where the investigation is dangerous, the secrets are generational, and justice has a price, The Dead Bell is your next late night read.
