Review

"Taut, inventive, tragic, intriguing, and full of unexpected twists, it's a must-have for all mystery collections." (starred review)

Publisher's note

Simon Serrailler's story began in The Various Haunts of Men" "(about a serial killer) and continued with The Pure in Heart" "(about a kidnapped schoolboy). Susan Hill is not afraid to tackle difficult issues, nor to face up to the realities of stress in an ordinary English police station. Her third crime novel, The Risk of Darkness, even more compulsive and convincing, follows up the child abduction and explores the crazy grief of a widowed husband, a derangement which turns to obsession and threats, violence and terror.
Meanwhile, handsome, introverted Simon Serrailler, whose cool reserve has broken the hearts of several women, finds his own heart troubled by the newest recruit to the Cathedral staff: a feisty female Anglican priest with red hair...
The Risk of Darkness" "is packed with action and adventure. Like Various Haunts, it hinges on a terrific twist which comes as a complete surprise to the reader; and like The Pure in Heart, it deals in depth with complex daily problems.

"From the Hardcover edition."

A third tale featuring Simon Serailler pits him against the increasingly violent acts of an obsessive widower, a case that is further complicated by Serailler's troubled feelings for the Cathedral's newest recruit, a red-haired woman Anglican priest. By the author of Various Haunts of Men. 40,000 first printing.

Annotation

Police inspector Simon Serrailler, the leading man in Susan Hill's mystery series, investigates some disturbingly well-executed kidnappings in RISK OF DARKNESS. At the same time, Serrailler's also looking into another intriguing situation: the arrival of a beautiful, red-headed Anglican minister. This is another great thrill ride from Hill.
