Susan Hill
Gunmen are terrorising young women in the cathedral town of Lafferton.. What – if – anything – links the apparently random murders? Is the marksman with a rifle the same person as the killer with a handgun?
Detective Chief Superintendent Simon Serrailler falls back on well-tried police methods such as questioning neighbours and house-to-house searches. Simon has been promoted and is now with the Serious Incident flying Taskforce, but he is still at heart a loner and these chilly murders are on his home territory. He tries to stay one step ahead of the killer, to prevent each new outrage. And he tries to think himself into the gunman’s head…
Meanwhile, his sister, Cat, had returned with her husband and children from Australia, and Simon is once again sucked into family life at her welcoming farmhouse. But tragedy strikes, and the warmth and security of home are cruelly tested. - - book cover
