"A master storyteller. Hill's crime novels are engaging and . . . gripping reads." --Strand magazine

A grief-stricken widower becomes deranged with obsession, spreading threats, violence, and terror. Meanwhile, handsome, introverted Simon Serrailler, whose cool reserve has broken the hearts of several women, finds his own heart troubled by the newest recruit to the Cathedral staff: a feisty female Anglican priest with red hair.
