Only one thing is certain: when Terry and Beth’s biological children vanish, Marnie can’t waste a moment finding them.

Advance Praise

PRAISE FOR NO OTHER DARKNESS

“Last year, Sarah Hilary’s Someone Else’s Skin was acclaimed a superb debut. It was no fluke. NO OTHER DARKNESS is just as excellent, and DI Marnie Rome is a three-dimensional character of an emotional depth rarely encountered in the world of fictional cops.”—The Times (London)

“At the center is a queasily equivocal moral tone that forces the reader into a constant rejigging of their attitude to the characters. And did I mention the plotting? Hilary’s ace in the hole – as it is in the best crime thrillers.”—The Financial Times

“Riveting . . . Sarah Hilary delivers in this enthralling tale of a haunted detective, terrible crime, and the secrets all of us try to keep”—Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times bestselling author

PRAISE FOR SOMEONE ELSE’S SKIN

“If this first entry is anything to go by, Hilary’s sense of plot and subtle character building will make the DI Marnie Rome series one to watch.”—ShelfAwareness

“Fans of Val McDermid and Ian Rankin will love this tremendous debut. Someone Else’s Skin puts Sarah Hilary and DI Marnie Rome squarely on the map. A gripping, disturbing examination of domestic violence with gravitas in spades, this book haunts you well after its finish.”—Julia Spencer-Fleming, New York Times bestselling author of Through Evil Days

“It’s the best crime debut I’ve ever read and deserves to be MASSIVE”—Erin Kelly, author of The Poison Tree
