'A gripping whodunnit and a subtle study of the mind of a psychopath.'
The Daily Mail

Introducing Simon Serrailler – The Various Haunts of Men is the first of Susan Hill's Simon Serrailler cases.

A woman vanishes in the fog up on "the Hill", an area locally known for its tranquillity and peace. The police are not alarmed; people usually disappear for their own reasons. But when a young girl, an old man, and even a dog disappear, no one can deny that something untoward is happening in this quiet cathedral town. Young policewoman Freya Graffham is assigned to the case; she's new to the job, compassionate, inquisitive, dedicated, and needs to know, perhaps, too much. She and the enigmatic detective Chief Inspector Simon Serrailler have the task of unravelling the mystery behind this gruesome sequence of events. From the passages revealing the killer's mind to the final heart-stopping twist, The Various Haunts of Men is an astounding and masterly crime debut and is the first in what promises to be a magnificent series featuring Simon Serrailler.

'This book must be judged as a potential successor to the great sequences of detective writing by PD James and Ruth Rendell ... excellent.'
The Daily Telegraph

'For the first time in years, PD James has serious competition.'
Literary Review

'I loved this book. Masterly and satisfying.'
Ruth Rendell

'She has the priceless ability to construct a solidly-researched narrative that keeps the reader turning the pages.'
The Independent
