Description

Simon Serrailler’s story began inThe Various Haunts of Men(about a serial killer) and continued withThe Pure in Heart(about a kidnapped schoolboy). Susan Hill is not afraid to tackle difficult issues, nor to face up to the realities of stress in an ordinary English police station. Her third crime novel,The Risk of Darkness, even more compulsive and convincing, follows up the child abduction and explores the crazy grief of a widowed husband, a derangement which turns to obsession and threats, violence and terror. Meanwhile, handsome, introverted Simon Serrailler, whose cool reserve has broken the hearts of several women, finds his own heart troubled by the newest recruit to the Cathedral staff: a feisty female Anglican priest with red hair… The Risk of Darknessis packed with action and adventure. LikeVarious Haunts, it hinges on a terrific twist which comes as a complete surprise to the reader; and likeThe Pure in Heart, it deals in depth with complex daily problems. From the Hardcover edition.
