The Haunted Bell (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419165467)

The Haunted Bell is a mystery novel written by Jacques Futrelle. The story revolves around the mysterious disappearance of a young woman named Madeline, who was last seen entering an old mansion. The mansion is said to be haunted by the ghost of a woman who died there many years ago. The protagonist of the story, detective Craig Kennedy, is called in to investigate the disappearance. As he delves deeper into the case, he discovers that there are many secrets hidden within the mansion, and that the ghostly presence may not be as supernatural as it seems. The Haunted Bell is a thrilling and suspenseful mystery novel that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.And again, as it hung motionless, the bell sounded. The tone rolled out melodiously, clearly--Once! Twice! Thrice! Those who gazed at the miracle lowered their eyes lest they be stricken blind. And the bell struck on--Four! Five! Six! A plaintive, wailing cry was raised; the priests behind the veil of gold were chanting again. Seven! Eight! Nine! The people took up the rolling chant as they groveled, and it swelled until the ancient walls of the temple trembled. Ten! Eleven!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
