The Bell of Sant'Elia
An Archaeological Thriller
Constantinople, 547 AD. A metalworker casts a bell for Justinian using an alloy that fights his hands. When it rings for the first time, everyone in the testing chamber speaks only truth. Within hours, they are all dead.
Sealed away, separated from its clapper, hidden for fifteen centuries. Then it surfaces in Venice as Lot 47 at a private auction where the ultra-wealthy bid on artifacts governments pretend do not exist, described only as a Byzantine bell with unusual acoustic properties.
The man holding the missing clapper has waited eighty years to reunite them. He believes the bell can cure humanity's oldest disease. In a world drowning in deep fakes and weaponized information, he offers forced truth, absolute and inescapable. He calls it harmony. The accounts from Constantinople call it something else.
