"A lonely woman of 53 vanishes while out on her morning run--hidden in her cupboard is an expensive pair of cuff-links with a note: 'To You, with all possible love from your devoted, Me'. A 22-year-old girl never returns from an early morning walk. An old man disappears too. Experienced policemen know that most missing persons either turn up or go missing on purpose. But fresh young policewoman Freya Graffham is assigned to the case. She's new to the job, compassionate, dedicated, and inquisitive--maybe too inquisitive. What, she wonders, could possibly link the people who disappear on "The Hill," young and old, men and women, even a little dog? Freya and the enigmatic detective Chief Inspector Simon Serrallier have the task of unraveling the mystery behind this increasingly gruesome sequence of events."--Page 4 of cover. - Harry N. Abrams, Inc.As the story begins, a lonely woman vanishes while out on her morning run. Then a 22-year-old girl never returns from a walk. An old man disappears too. When fresh-faced policewoman Freya Graffham is assigned to the case, she runs the risk of getting too invested--too involved--in the action. Alongside the enigmatic detective Chief Inspector Simon Serrallier, she must unravel the mystery before events turn too gruesome. Written with intelligence, compassion, and a knowing eye--in the tradition of the fabulous mysteries of Ruth Rendell and P.D. James--The Various Haunts of Men is an enthralling journey into the heart of a wonderfully developed town, and into the very mind of a killer.

When Susan Hill first introduced us to the city of Lafferton, to its meticulously crafted cast of characters, and to its chief police inspector Simon Serrailler, readers went wild. When it was released in hardcover, The Various Haunts of Men was named a BookSense Pick and was immediately on the must-read list of every mystery fan. Now out in paperback, Hill's intricate and pulse-pounding novel will reach an even wider audience.
