But when a body washes ashore, he is drawn into a new murder inquiry, and the fragile peace he has found is shattered.

The sinister side of home: As Lafferton descends into chaos, Serrailler's own sister, Dr. Cat Deerbon, finds her new married life and career tested by both family troubles and the town's darkest secrets. The truth is closer than ever: The review of a long-unsolved missing persons case brings Simon closer to the heart of the town's buried history and its deadliest secrets. A powerfully atmospheric and character-rich mystery that confirms Susan Hill's masterful ability to intertwine domestic drama with deeply unsettling psychological suspense.
