Hill's readers met the enigmatic and brooding Simon Serrailler in The Various Haunts of Men and got to know him better in The Pure in Heart and The Risk of Darkness. The Vows of Silence, the fourth crime novel featuring Chief Inspector Serrailler, is perhaps even more compulsive and convincing than its predecessors.

A gunman is terrorizing young women in the cathedral town of Lafferton. What, if anything, links the apparently random murders? Is the marksman with the rifle the same as the killer with the handgun?

With the complexity and character study that earned raves for The Pure in Heart and the relentless pacing and plot twists of The Various Haunts of Men, The Vows of Silence is truly the work of a writer at the top of her form.

Susan Hill’s novels and short stories have won numerous awards and prizes, including the Whitbread Award, the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize, the Somerset Maugham Award, and the Yorkshire Post Book of the Year, and have been shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. She was awarded a CBE in the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Honors. The play adapted from her famous ghost novel, The Woman in Black, has been running in the West End since 1989. Her crime novels featuring DCS Simon Serrailler—The Various Haunts of Men, The Pure in Heart, The Risk of Darkness, The Vows of Silence, The Shadows in the Street, The Betrayal of Trust, A Question of Identity, The Soul of Discretion, and The Comforts of Home—are all available from The Overlook Press and are currently being adapted for television.

Steven Pacey is an actor and Earphones Award-winning narrator. He is a highly decorated stage actor, performing often at the West End Theatre. He has appeared in numerous television roles, including Tarrant in Blake’s 7, and has made over three hundred radio broadcasts.
