In Yorkshire, a child disappears, and the senior inspector feels obligated to help the locals catch the kidnapper. Can this Yorkshire abduction be connected to the case in Lafferton? And is it the start of a new series of crimes?
Susan Hill, familiar to fans of mystical thrillers from the bestseller “The Woman in Black,” turns to the detective genre. A series of detective stories about Simon Serraler immerses readers in the captivating atmosphere of a British suburb: a sky heavy with gray clouds and the abduction of a child that tugs at the hearts of everyone living there. “The Danger of Darkness” is a masterful study of human character under stress.
