Toll the bell for murder

In the eerie silence of the Isle of Man's curraghs, a loud explosion and the violent ringing of a church bell shatter the night. The Vicar, Sullivan Lee, is found praying beside the murdered body of Sir Martin Skollick, with a fired sporting gun nearby. Scotland Yard's Superintendent Littlejohn is called to investigate, uncovering the victim's past misdeeds, enemies, and romantic entanglements to solve the mystery that began with the tolling bell.
