About this audiobook
A diver sent to survey a drowned town discovers its church bell is still ringing — and counting the days until she goes under for good.
Fifty-six years ago, the state drowned Ossaly, New York, and let the Kettlestone Dam seal a valley over four hundred lives. Now the reservoir is drawn down, the dam needs repair, and someone has to go back down.
Commercial diver Yusra Sarrow takes the job. On her first descent she hears the bell of Saint Bricta’s Church ring twelve at noon. There is no rope in the tower. There has been no rope since 1970.
The next day it rings thirteen. Then fifteen. The count is not random — it is the hour, plus the day of the survey, minus one. Something below the water is keeping careful arithmetic, and it started the moment Yusra’s boot touched the bell deck.
