The Dead Bell
(2025)(The first book in the Alderman James Mystery Thriller series)
A Story by European P Douglas
Dublin, 1785. The city sleeps beneath a hush of snow, but murder never rests.
When a young bellringer is found dead in the tower of St. Audoen’s Church, Alderman James is called to investigate. What first appears to be a tragic accident soon reveals darker undertones—whispers of ritual, secrets buried in wartime, and a silence that clings too tightly to the living.
Navigating the frostbitten alleys of Dublin, the aloof clergy, and the enigmatic Mr. Edwards of the Hellfire Club, James follows a trail that leads deep into the city’s past—and deeper still into its conscience.
Some deaths are quiet. Others toll like bells.
A gripping historical mystery set in the heart of wintry Georgian Dublin, perfect for fans of atmospheric crime and morally complex investigators.
