A lonely woman of 53 vanishes in fog - hidden in her cupboard is an expensive pair of cuff-links with a note: 'To You, with all possible love from your devoted, Me'. A fat 22-year-old never returns from an early morning walk - is her disappearance connected with her girlish crush on Dava, the blue-eyed 'therapist' whose speciality is 'inner harmony'? Experienced policemen know that most missing persons either turn up or go missing on purpose. But fresh young D. S. Freya Graffham won't drop it - until she discovers what links the people who disappear on 'The Hill', young and old, men and women, even a little dog. Susan Hill writes with compassion, humour and a unique understanding of the details of daily life. In Various Haunts of Men, she has created a small cathedral town (within the orbit of a large urban city) and filled it with recognizable characters - the local GPs, the exceedingly dodgy surgeon, the grieving widow who is helped through the ritual of Christmas by her kindly neighbour, the down-to-earth flatmate, the unhappy wife who fills her days with charity work - and the tall blond police officer, Simon, who stands at the centre of an ordinary world in which gruesome things go on in lock-up business units?

Review:
"Susan Hill has always been able to tell a good story...and we should be delighted that she has turned her formidable talent to crime writing. This is the first of what promises to be a splendid series" (Daily Mail)

"A relentless capacity to surprise... Introduces many individual people who will continue to stare back at the reader long after the book is closed" (Times Literary Supplement)

"This book must be judged as a potential successor to the great sequences of detective writing by PD James and Ruth Rendell...excellent" (Daily Telegraph)

"The novel is not only a gripping whodunit but a subtle study of the mind of a psychopath" (Daily Mail)

"The Various Haunts of Men confirms Hill's status as a mistress of literary disguise" (Scotsman)
From the Publisher:
A new departure by one of our most accomplished fiction writers. This is the first of a series of three crime novels featuring the English policeman Simon Serrailler. It has 'popular' and 'bestseller' written all over it.
