Susan Hill's Simon Serrailler series has established itself as superior crime fare with four gripping psychological thrillers already in print.
Serrailler has just wrapped up a particularly exhausting and difficult case and is on sabbatical on a far-flung Scottish island when he is called back to Lafferton by the Chief Constable. Two local prostitutes have been found strangled. When the wife of the St. Michael's Cathedral Dean goes missing and then another respectable woman is taken on her way to work, the townspeople grow angry and afraid. Serrailler is in the greatest danger of his life.
Starred Review Hill once again shines with a book thats part taut suspense thriller, part classic British procedural, and part modern morality tale with an overlay that is at once heartwarming and terrible. DCS Simon Serrailler has taken some much-needed time off after solving a high-profile, high-pressure case. But hes called back to work when two local prostitutes are brutally murdered, and his team of detectives is struggling to find a single useful clue to the killers identity. But the murders arent the only issue Simon has to worry abouthis sister, Cat, is still trying to deal with her husbands tragic death, his father is thinking of heading off to America, and his nephew is showing signs of preteen rebellion. Still, its the murders that must be Simons top priority, but he continues to hit brick walls at every turn. Fearing he may never solve the case, Simon is nearly ready to give up when the killer reveals himself in a near-tragic event that hits all too close to home. This is a hugely satisfying, highly entertaining, masterfully written book in which Hill is once again at the top of her game. --Emily Melton
Praise for Susan Hill
"It's the intelligence of this brooding series that rivets a reader's attention." -Maureen Corrigan, Washington Post
"Hill knows how to keep those pages turning." -Chicago Sun-Times
"This is the fifth of Hill's exceptional series (after The Various Haunts of Men, The Pure in Heart, The Risk of Darkness, and The Vows of Silence). Her characters continue to be intelligent and engaging, and the perfect balance of drama, atmosphere, and suspense holds the reader to the very last page.
