Description
'Serrailler, Hill's brilliant detective, is the central character in the great writer's crime fiction novels' CAMILLA, DUCHESS OF CORNWALL
Heavy rain falls on Lafferton. As the rain water slowly drains away, a shallow grave - and a skeleton - are revealed.
It doesn't take long to identify the remains as those of missing teenager, Harriet Lowther, who was last seen sixteen years ago.
But a cold case isn't a priority: if Detective Inspector Simon Serrailler is to solve the case, he will have to do it alone.

The Betrayal of Trust isn't only a page-turner - though it certainly fulfils that expectation - it's also a thought-provoking novel about those who suffer and those who care for them * Guardian *

Hill can't write a bad sentence and her characters are all completely convincing - no more so than her long-serving detective Simon Serrailler * Daily Mirror *
Her intellectual stance is engaging, her plot unpredictable and her detective a likeable presence * Scotland on Sunday *
Far more than a whodunit...written with a novelist's flair, in that the characters, however fleeting, are carefully drawn and believable * Country Life *
A crime series that specialises in sidestepping conventions, always to exhilarating effect... These books succeed in harnessing all the genre's addictive power while maintaining a complexity and fascination entirely their own * Independent *
