Blinded by lust, Byfield is oblivious to the dangers that lie all about him, the menopausal churchwarden with a hopeless passion for her priest; his beautiful, neglected teenage daughter Rosemary; and the sinister presence of Frances Youlgreave, poet, opium addict, and suicide, whose power stretches beyond the grave. Soon the murders and blasphemies begin. But does the responsibility lie in the present or the past? And can Byfield, a prisoner of his own passion, break through to the truth before the final tragedy destroys what he most cherishes? The Judgement of strangers is the second novel in Andrew Taylor's Roth Trilogy, linked psychological thrillers that strip away, like an archaeological dig, the layers of a psychopath's history"--P. (4) of cover.
