Can a man haunted by his own past see the truth hiding in plain sight? DCS Simon Serrailler is still recovering from the brutal attack that nearly cost him his life. When a couple is subjected to a terrifying act of violence in their quiet Lafferton home, Simon returns to the force but makes a shocking error of judgment. Under intense scrutiny and with his own demons to fight, Serrailler must regain his footing as his cathedral town spirals into a new era of darkness. A chilling psychological thriller for fans of P.D. James and Ruth Rendell. In the tenth installment of Susan Hill's acclaimed British mystery series, two seemingly separate crimes plunge the town into fear: * A couple opens their door to strangers with nightmarish consequences. * The brutal murder of a woman leaves her husband in a coma, the sole witness. ¿ ¿A detective on the edge. As Simon's family struggles with their own unexpected dramas-including his sister Cat and their unpredictable father-Simon's investigation pushes him closer to the breaking point. The stress of his physical and emotional recovery threatens to undo him as Lafferton's dark underbelly is once again exposed. This is more than a simple murder mystery. It is a suspenseful tale of hidden motives, devastating consequences, and the psychological weight of a past that refuses to be left behind.
