Items related to The Various Haunts of Men
A woman vanishes in the fog up on "the Hill", an area locally known for its tranquility and peace. The police are not alarmed; people usually disappear for their own reasons. But when a young girl, an old man, and even a dog disappear, no one can deny that something untoward is happening in this quiet town.
Young policewoman Freya Graffham is assigned to the case; she's new to the job, compassionate, inquisitive, and dedicated. She and the enigmatic detective Chief Inspector Simon Serrailler have the task of unraveling the mystery behind this gruesome sequence of events.

Book Description Paperback. A lonely woman of 53 vanishes in fog- hidden in her cupboard is an expensive pair of cuff- links with a note: 'To You, with all possible love from your devoted, Me'. A fat 22- year- old never returns from an early morning walk- is her disappearance connected with her girlish crush on Dava, the blue- eyed 'therapist' whose speciality is 'inner harmony'? Experienced policemen know that most missing persons either turn up or go missing on purpose. But fresh young D. S. Freya Graffham won't drop it- until she discovers what links the people who disappear on 'The Hill', young and old, men and women, even a little dog. Susan Hill writes with compassion, humour and a unique understanding of the details of daily life. In VARIOUS HAUNTS OF MEN, she has created a small cathedral town (within the orbit of a large urban city) and filled it with recognizable characters- the local GPs, the exceedingly dodgy surgeon, the grieving widow who is helped through the ritual of Christmas by her kindly neighbour, the down- to- earth flatmate, the unhappy wife who fills her days with charity work- and the tall, blond police officer, Simon, who stands at the centre of an ordinary world in which gruesome things go on in lock- up business units.
