Synopsis

From the outside, the cathedral town of Lafferton seems idyllic, but in many ways it is just like any number of towns. When Simon Serrailler is called in by Lafferton's new Chief Constable, he's asked to take the principal role in a difficult, potentially dangerous undercover operation. He must leave town without telling anyone and he must inhabit the mind of the worst kind of criminal. This takes its toll on Simon and eventually on the town.

Review:

'Not all great novelists can write crime fiction but when one like Susan Hill does the result is stunning.' (Ruth Rendell)

'What you know about human nature is simultaneously being enlarged and improved upon thanks to Hill's almost Shakespearean insights into what it is to be.' (The Daily Express)

'She has the priceless ability to construct a solidly-researched narrative that keeps the reader turning the pages.' (The Independent)
