We 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 Laffterton. 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.

The second novel featuring Detective Inspector Simon Serrailler set in the English cathedral town of Lafferton. A little boy is kidnapped as he stands with his satchel at the gate of his home, waiting for a lift to school. An ex-con finds it impossible to stay straight. A severely handicapped young woman dies in the night — has someone who loves her helped her out of this world? Once again, Susan Hill brilliantly creates a community, with detail so sharp and convincing that readers feel that these people are their neighbours. And that terror and evil are always in their midst. . . .

«Je me trouvai dans le jardin faiblement éclairé d'une lueur verdâtre. Les oiseaux s'étaient tus. Aucune vibration ne troublait plus l'atmosphère. C'est alors que je sentis une petite main se glisser dans la mienne, comme si un enfant s'était matérialisé à côté de moi dans l'obscurité. Mais l'enfant était invisible.»Adam Snow, un marchand de livres anciens perdu dans la campagne anglaise, arrive dans le parc d'un manoir à l'abandon. Par curiosité, il se dirige vers la porte d'entrée, lorsqu'il ressent une mystérieuse présence. La petite main qui a saisi la sienne va désormais l'obséder. D'autant qu'elle semble lui vouloir du mal. Auteur de La Dame en noir (L'Archipel, 2012), Susan Hill, référence du roman gothique britannique, signe ici un conte fantastique d'une intensité saisissante.

Rebecca was Daphne du Maurier's most famous and best-loved novel. Countless readers wondered: what happened next? Out of fire-wracked ruins of Manderley, would love and renewal rise phoenix-like from the ashes of the embittered past?

But the vengeful ghost of Rebecca, Maxim's first wife, continues to cast its long shadow over them. Back in England after an absence of over ten years, it seems as if happiness will at last be theirs. But the de Winters still have to reckon with two hate-consumed figures they once knew - both of whom have very long memories...
