Following on from the child abduction in her previous novel The Pure in Heart, Susan Hill explores the crazy grief of a widowed husband, a derangement that turns to obsession and threats, violence and terror.
"An outstanding crime thriller from one of Britain's best writers. Taut, inventive, tragic, intriguing, and full of unexpected twists, it's a must have for all mystery collections."
Booklist (starred review)
"Hill blends just the right measures of darkness, tension, and human interest. Her consistently well-crafted plot and believable characters make this a welcome addition to the series. Highly recommended."
