The Bell Tower

As each prisoner dies, the bell will ring... After a drugs bust goes wrong, Deputy Sheriff Garrett West is left wounded, with a permanent limp and a career in tatters. In rehab, he falls in love with a kind nurse and soon they have a baby on the way. Unfit for active police service, West is left with few options to support his new family. He gratefully accepts his father-in-law''s offer of a job at a Florida penitentiary, on the grounds of an old Spanish mission. Its chapel, a working bell tower, is now an execution chamber. And West must attend the executions. Working on Death Row comes with a few simple rules: - Do not let the inmates get under your skin. - Do not take justice into your own hands. - Definitely do not help anyone escape... West will break every one of them. _________________________ ''In the top flight of crime writing'' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH ''The master of the genre'' CLIVE CUSSLER
