When a body is discovered under circumstances that point unmistakably to murder, the laconic and perceptive Inspector Brunt is drawn into a web of rural secrets, old grudges, and desperate motives. Hilton masterfully chronicles the rhythms of isolated community life while steadily tightening the suspense, delivering a richly atmospheric mystery that rewards patient readers. The novel presents a vivid portrait of English provincial society where respectability masks deep-seated resentment, and justice is never a simple matter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888014307547,"sku":"2026100006570-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/e011f714-35f1-499b-ac82-19ceefc1442f.png?v=1781752781","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100006570-secondhand-hangmans-tide","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
