AN INSTINCT TO KILL!

In the isolated village of Lambourn there is great excitement when a family of itinerant bell-founders arrives to forge a new church bell. But excitement soon turns to terror when churchwarden Will Stubbs - a saintly old man - is found dead in the woods.

Thomas the Falconer is charged by his master to find answers, but instead finds himself trying to restore order in the community when the village constable is also found dead. Suspicion falls on many, and Thomas must battle ancient fears and hostilities in the hunt for a murderer.

As panic ensues, Thomas does what he does best - following the trail and hunting his prey. But will it take the raising of the great bell itself to allow the pieces to fall into place at last - and reveal the killer?
