The Vows of Silence: A Simon Serrailler Mystery (A Chief Superintendent Simon Serrailler Mystery)

How can you find a killer when silence is the most powerful weapon? A marksman with a rifle is stalking the cathedral town of Lafferton, targeting young women in what seem to be random, motiveless killings. The seemingly peaceful community is gripped by terror, and the police are baffled. Are they dealing with one killer or two? Detective Chief Superintendent Simon Serrailler leads the investigation, but he is also struggling to cope with a tragedy at the heart of his own family. A chilling British psychological mystery for fans of Ruth Rendell and P.D. James. In the fourth novel in Susan Hill's acclaimed series, the pressure mounts from all sides: The town under siege: The impending local fair and a high-profile cathedral wedding only increase the pressure on the police to catch the shooter before another life is taken. A detective's private torment: Serrailler's emotional detachment is tested to its limits as he navigates the crisis within his own family while facing down a ruthless killer. The vow of silence: As the investigation drags on, the psychological drama unfolds, exploring the true meaning of silence―both the victims' and the town's―in the face of violence and grief. A masterful blend of character study and relentless suspense,The Vows of Silence delivers a tense and disturbing mystery that will leave you questioning what truly motivates a killer.
