A woman vanishes in the fog up on "the Hill," an area locally known for its tranquility and peace. The police are not alarmed; people usually disappear for their own reasons. But when a young girl,
an old man, and even a dog disappear, no one can deny that something untoward is happening in this quiet town. Young policewoman Freya Graffham is assigned to the case; she's new to the job,
compassionate, inquisitive, and dedicated. She and the enigmatic detective Chief Inspector Simon Serrailler have the task of unraveling the mystery behind this gruesome sequence of events.

Editorial Reviews
“A masterly and satisfying thriller from one of Britain’s best-loved mystery writers.” —Ruth Rendell
“A gripping whodunnit and a subtle study of the mind of a psychopath.” —Daily Mail
“This book must be judged as a potential successor to the great
sequences of detective writing by PD James and Ruth Rendell...excellent.” —Daily Telegraph
“A taut
and suspenseful mystery…dark but entirely convincing…Hill’s fine writing and nuanced insight into human
nature should appeal to fans of such masters of the psychological
thriller as P.D. James, Elizabeth George and Ruth Rendell.” —Publishers Weekly
