The Thirteenth Bell

A Crime Thriller

The bells in Taganga, Colombia, ring twelve times.
Then a thirteenth rings—and the town goes quiet for the wrong reason.

Gabriel Ferrer is a Spanish Guardia Civil officer on leave in Colombia, trying to do the one thing he’s no longer good at: look away. But when a moving light flashes in the church tower and a scream cuts across the bay, Ferrer’s instincts take over. He starts asking questions the town doesn’t want answered.

Maritza Mercado has been living with the same lie for too long: the sea took Nadia. Her sister’s disappearance was dismissed as rumor, tragedy, and bad timing. But Nadia left warnings behind—messages, notes, and a pattern tied to the church and the men who control it.

As Ferrer and Maritza push past fear, they uncover something colder than a local crime: a system that runs on roles, coded verifications, and “clean” paperwork. A front called Puerta de Agua. Movements broken into segments. Evidence that only matters if it’s collected the right way, logged the right way, and survives the next attempt to erase it.

Because in Taganga, the danger isn’t just what happened inside the church.

It’s who has the power to make it disappear.

THE THIRTEENTH BELL is a high-stakes police procedural thriller featuring an international investigation, relentless pressure, and a case built to hold up in court.

• A Spanish investigator trapped between procedure and survival
• A missing woman whose “sea story” doesn’t add up
• Evidence bags, chain of custody, warrants, and real investigative friction
• A network hidden behind donations, legal cover, and coded roles
• Colombia-to-Spain leads that turn one incident into something much bigger

Every bell has a purpose.
The thirteenth is the one they don’t want you to hear.
