The Bell at Mourning House
S13E01: The Bell Without a Clapper
Mourning House stood above the frozen lake like a verdict no court had dared deliver. Ada Mercer arrived after midnight with a locksmith's case on her knee and snow filling the road behind her. The invitation had come from Gideon Mourning, manufacturer of bank locks, church safes, and the private doors of men who feared their own families. He had promised Ada a puzzle that would make her reputation. He had neglected to mention that he would be dead before she saw it.
