Simon Serrailler Mystery: The Pure in Heart

More about the book

The second novel featuring Detective Inspector Simon Serrailler set in the English cathedral town of Lafferton. A little boy is kidnapped as he stands with his satchel at the gate of his home, waiting for a lift to school. An ex-con finds it impossible to stay straight. A severely handicapped young woman dies in the night — has someone who loves her helped her out of this world? Once again, Susan Hill brilliantly creates a community, with detail so sharp and convincing that readers feel that these people are their neighbours. And that terror and evil are always in their midst. . . .
