What terrors can be born from a heart broken by grief?
After the horror of a child's kidnapping, the cathedral town of Lafferton is still reeling. But for a grieving widower, Max Jameson, his wife's slow, agonizing death has ignited a terrifying madness.
As his obsessive rage turns violent, Detective Chief Inspector Simon Serrailler is drawn into a desperate standoff. At the same time, a new case--the abduction of another child--forces Serrailler to confront the possibility that the first kidnapper is still at large.
A pulse-pounding psychological thriller for fans of Ruth Rendell and P.D. James.
In the third installment of Susan Hill's celebrated British series, the darkness runs deeper than ever:
- The descent into obsession: Witness the terrifying psychological unraveling of a man driven mad by loss.
- A tangled web of crime: As Serrailler's team investigates a new child abduction, he's faced with the harrowing possibility that the first kidnapper was never caught.
- A detective's troubled heart: A new priest at the cathedral challenges Serrailler's emotional detachment, forcing him to confront his own vulnerabilities.
Atmospheric, suspenseful, and profoundly disturbing.The Risk of Darkness masterfully blends a domestic nightmare with a relentless police investigation, showcasing the fine line between sanity and madness.
