In the newest installment of Susan Hill's electrifying crime series,
Simon Serrailler finds himself in devastating new territory as a
sophisticated drug network sets its sights on Lafferton In A Change
of Circumstance, the eleventh book in Susan Hill's acclaimed crime
series featuring the enigmatic detective Simon Serrailler, Hill yet
again raises the stakes.
Detective Chief Superintendent Simon Serrailler has long regarded drug
ops in Lafferton as a waste of time. The small-time dealers picked up
outside the local high school can't or won't turn in any valuable names,
so they're merely given a fine and the trail runs cold.
But when the body of a twenty-two-year-old is found in neighboring
Starley, the case pulls DCS Simon Serrailler into the underbelly of an
elaborate drug operation that moves narcotics from the cities into the
suburbs and right down to villages. The foot soldiers? Vulnerable local
kids like Brookie and Olivia, whose involvement gives Simon a bitter
taste of this new landscape. It's a harsh winter in Lafferton, and with
struggles both at home and on the job, DCS Serrailler soon learns that
even the familiar can hold shocking surprises . . .
Dark, page-turning, and rich in mood and character, Susan Hill's A
Change of Circumstance lands brilliantly as another gripping entry to
the Serrailler canon, sure to enthrall fans and newcomers alike.
