Harold Fenton rang the bells every Tuesday for forty years. This Tuesday, someone made sure he stopped.
The police see a tragic accident. Hester Croft sees a rope wound too neatly — and hands without a mark on them.
Harold had been asking questions. About the war. About silver that vanished from Blenheim Palace and was never recovered. Now his notebook is gone and his questions have died with him.
Or so someone hopes.
As Hester and Gertie pull at the threads of a conspiracy a decade old, the killer moves to protect themselves — pinning the blame on an innocent man with the one detail only a murderer would know.
Oranges and lemons, say the bells of St Clement's… Everyone in Woodstock owes something. The question is who's willing to kill to clear the debt.
Genre: Mystery
