The Shadows in the Street cover

In The Shadows in the Street, Detective Simon Serrailler returns to Lafferton to investigate a series of brutal murders, uncovering dark secrets.

In The Shadows in the Street, the tranquil town of Lafferton is shaken to its core when two local prostitutes are discovered brutally strangled. Detective Simon Serrailler, who is on a much-needed sabbatical, is urgently called back to investigate this shocking crime. As he arrives, the tension escalates with the alarming news that another girl has disappeared, raising the stakes in a case that is becoming increasingly complex and dangerous.

As Serrailler delves deeper into the investigation, he uncovers a web of secrets and lies that complicate the search for the truth. The situation becomes even more dire when the wife of the Dean at the Cathedral goes missing, leading to questions about whether the killer is expanding their target or if multiple murderers are at work. The urgency of the investigation heightens as Serrailler races against time to prevent further tragedies.

The Shadows in the Street is the fifth installment in the gripping Simon Serrailler series, which has captivated over one million readers. With its compelling narrative and intricate plot, this novel explores themes of morality, justice, and the darkness that can lurk beneath the surface of seemingly peaceful communities. As the investigation unfolds, readers will find themselves on the edge of their seats, eager to uncover the truth alongside Serrailler.
