In the newest installment of Susan Hillâs electrifying crime series, Simon Serrailler finds himself in devastating new territory as a sophisticated drug network sets its sights on Lafferton
Â
In A Change of Circumstance, the eleventh book in Susan Hillâs acclaimed crime series featuring the enigmatic detective Simon Serrailler, Hill yet again raises the stakes.
Detective Chief Superintendent Simon Serrailler has long regarded drug ops in Lafferton as a waste of time. The small-time dealers picked up outside the local high school canât or wonât turn in any valuable names, so theyâre merely given a fine and the trail runs cold.Â
But when the body of a twenty-two-year-old is found in neighboring Starley, the case pulls DCS Simon Serrailler into the underbelly of an elaborate drug operation that moves narcotics from the cities into the suburbs and right down to villages. The foot soldiers? Vulnerable local kids like Brookie and Olivia, whose involvement gives Simon a bitter taste of this new landscape. Itâs a harsh winter in Lafferton, and with struggles both at home and on the job, DCS Serrailler soon learns that even the familiar can hold shocking surprises . . .Â
Â
Dark, page-turning, and rich in mood and character, Susan Hillâs A Change of Circumstance lands brilliantly as another gripping entry to the Serrailler canon, sure to enthrall fans and newcomers alike.Â
