Book Overview
What happens when evil steps out of the shadows?
Chief Superintendent Simon Serrailler is reluctantly recalled from his Scottish sabbatical when two prostitutes are found strangled in the cathedral town of Lafferton. But what begins as a hunt for a killer targeting society's most vulnerable turns into a town-wide nightmare when the killer's motives evolve, and more "respectable" women--including the Dean's wife--begin to disappear.
As fear grips the community, Serrailler races to find a predator who is becoming more bold and dangerous with each murder.
A taut British mystery for fans of Ruth Rendell and P.D. James.

A killer's grim escalation: The town is paralyzed by a series of murders that start in the red-light district but soon spread to its more respectable neighborhoods.The emotional toll of trauma: As Serrailler returns to his work, he must also navigate the complex emotions of his sister, Cat, and his grieving family.A town on edge: The murders expose the fragile social fabric of Lafferton and reveal the secrets and tensions simmering beneath its genteel surface.
Atmospheric, character-rich, and deeply compelling.The Shadows in the Street is a powerful exploration of psychological truth and the terrifying possibility that evil is never far from home.
