Can the past ever truly be buried? After devastating floods hit the quiet cathedral town of Lafferton, a chilling secret is unearthed: the skeleton of a teenager who vanished twenty years earlier. It was a cold case that destroyed one family―but a new investigation by Chief Superintendent Simon Serrailler will reveal that betrayal, grief, and deadly secrets still haunt the living. A compelling psychological thriller for fans of Ruth Rendell and P.D. James. In the sixth installment of Susan Hill's celebrated British mystery series, Simon Serrailler confronts one of his most complex cases yet: A shocking discovery: The remains of a missing teenager finally resurface, reopening old wounds and reigniting a hunt for a killer. A town in turmoil: A police force already stretched thin by staff shortages must prioritize a decades-old crime. The heart of the story: Serrailler's investigation is a masterclass in character, focusing as much on the psychological toll of the past as on solving the crime itself. An unputdownable mystery filled with atmosphere, menace, and profound insight into human nature. This gripping novel explores the devastating consequences of long-held secrets and the betrayals that echo through generations.
