While ringing in the New Year, Lord Peter stumbles into an ominous country mystery Lord Peter Wimsey and his manservant Bunter are halfway across the wild flatlands of East Anglia when they make a wrong turn, straight into a ditch. They scramble over the rough country to the nearest church, where they find hospitality, dinner, and an invitation to go bell-ringing. This ancient art is steeped in mathematical complexities, and tonight the rector and his friends plan to embark on a 9-hour marathon session to welcome the New Year. Lord Peter joins them, taking a step into a society whose cheerful exterior hides a dark, deadly past. During their stay in this unfamiliar countryside, Lord Peter and Bunter encounter murder, a mutilated corpse, and a decades-old jewel theft for which locals continue to die. In this land where bells toll for the dead, the ancient chimes never seem to stop.… (más)
La noche de fin de año, Peter Wimsey sufre un accidente de coche y se ve obligado a pernoctar en Fenchurch St Paul, donde el párroco de la aldea le ofrece alojamiento. Muchos de los aldeanos han enfermado a causa de una fuerte gripe, entre ellos el campanero, de modo que Wimsey se ofrece a cubrir su puesto esa noche. Meses después, fallece el marido de una de las víctimas de la epidemia. Durante el entierro, descubren un cadáver sin identificar y Wimsey se verá implicado en la investigación de este desconcertante hallazgo, que oculta mucho más de lo que en principio aparenta.

[Foreword] The surnames used in these books are all such as I have myself encountered among the people of East Anglia, but every place and person describe is wholly fictitious, as are also the sins and negligences of those entirely imaginary bodies, the Wale Conservancy Board, the Fen Drainage Board and the East Level Waterways Commission.
