Synopsis "A Change of Circumstance: A Simon Serrailler Case "

In the newest installment of Susan Hill's electrifying crime series, Simon Serrailler finds himself in devastating new territory as a sophisticated drug network sets its sights on Lafferton In A Change of Circumstance, the eleventh book in Susan Hill's acclaimed crime series featuring the enigmatic detective Simon Serrailler, Hill yet again raises the stakes. Detective Chief Superintendent Simon Serrailler has long regarded drug ops in Lafferton as a waste of time. The small-time dealers picked up outside the local high school can't or won't turn in any valuable names, so they're merely given a fine and the trail runs cold. But when the body of a twenty-two-year-old is found in neighboring Starley, the case pulls DCS Simon Serrailler into the underbelly of an elaborate drug operation that moves narcotics from the cities into the suburbs and right down to villages. The foot soldiers? Vulnerable local kids like Brookie and Olivia, whose involvement gives Simon a bitter taste of this new landscape. It's a harsh winter in Lafferton, and with struggles both at home and on the job, DCS Serrailler soon learns that even the familiar can hold shocking surprises . . . Dark, page-turning, and rich in mood and character, Susan Hill's A Change of Circumstance lands brilliantly as another gripping entry to the Serrailler canon, sure to enthrall fans and newcomers alike.

Susan Elizabeth Hill es una escritora británica reconocida por su versatilidad narrativa y su capacidad para moverse con solvencia entre la novela psicológica, el terror gótico y la literatura infantil. Comenzó a publicar muy joven y desde sus primeras obras mostró un interés marcado por los conflictos morales, la soledad y las tensiones emocionales ocultas bajo entornos aparentemente cotidianos. Su prosa es contenida, precisa y profundamente atmosférica, con una atención especial a la psicología de los personajes y a los silencios que los rodean.

Su novela I’m the King of the Castle es una de sus obras más influyentes y le valió el Somerset Maugham Award, consolidándola tempranamente como una voz destacada de la literatura británica contemporánea. A lo largo de su carrera ha escrito novelas, cuentos, poesía y libros para niños, además de la célebre historia de fantasmas The Woman in Black. Hill ha construido una obra sólida y coherente, caracterizada por su elegancia formal y su inquietante profundidad emocional.
