Bellman Black - Audio CD - Unabridged Author:Diane Setterfield, Jack Davenport (Narrator) One moment in time can haunt you forever. — Caught up in a moment of boyhood competition, William Bellman recklessly aims his slingshot at a rook resting on a branch, killing the bird instantly. It is a small but cruel act, and is soon forgotten. By the time he is grown, with a wife and children of his own, William seems to have... more » put the whole incident behind him. It was as if he never killed the thing at all. But rooks don't forget....
Years later, when a stranger mysteriously enters William's life, his fortunes begin to turn -- and the terrible and unforeseen consequences of his past indiscretion take root. In a desperate bid to save the only precious thing he has left, he enters into a rather strange bargain, with an even stranger partner. Together, they found a decidedly macabre business.
And Bellman & Black is born.
