SYNOPSIS
A beautiful June day in the Yorkshire Dales, and a group of children are spending the last of their half-term freedom swimming in the river near Hindswell Woods. But the idyll is shattered by their discovery of a mans body, hanging from a tree. DI Annie Cabott soon discovers he is Mark Hardcastle, the well-liked and successful set designer for the Eastvale Theatres current production of Othello. Everything points to suicide, and Annie is mystified. Why would such a man want to take his own life? Then Annie’s investigation leads to another shattering discovery, and DCI Alan Banks is called back from the idyllic weekend he had planned with his new girlfriend. Banks soon finds himself plunged into a shadow-world where nothing is what it seems, where secrets and deceit are the norm, and where murder is seen as the solution to a problem. The deeper he digs the more he discovers that the monster he has awakened will extend its deadly reach to his friends and family. Nobody is safe.

摘要:
约克郡山谷六月的一天,一群小孩自由自在抓住假日的尾巴在河里游泳。但是,他们无意中发现的悬挂在树上的一具男尸打破了他们的清闲。很快达尔·安妮·卡伯特(DI Annie Cabott)发现了死者的身份。死者是马克·哈德卡斯(Mark Hardcastle),他是受人爱戴的背景设计师。种种迹象看来似乎是自杀,但是安妮很怀疑。为什么一个如此成功的人士会想要自杀?随后安妮的调查有了新的发现。阿兰·班克斯(Alan Banks)因而被召回,无奈取消了和新女友共度周末的美愿。班克斯很快发现自己仿佛掉入了阴影世界,那里世事都并非表面所见,秘密和欺骗司空见惯,谋杀被看做是解决问题的唯一手段。他越深究越发现,魔掌正逼近他的朋友和家人。没有谁有安全可言。(XJJ)
