Fin Macleod has recently lost a child and it has kept him from returning
to his policing job in Edinburgh. Now he has been forced back to work
because of a murder in his hometown on the Isle of Lewis; the question
is whether it is the same killer he had been investigating in Edinburgh.
DS George Gunn meets him at the airport in Stornoway. They immediately
connect, however, the DCI sent from the mainland, Tom Smith is not
impressed. He sees no need for Fin, nor help from the local police.
Gunn tells Fin that the victim had been accused of an assault and a
sexual assault.
As Fin progresses with his investigation, memories of his childhood in
the area come flooding back. Will the ghosts of his past help him solve
the murders?
Author Peter May uses flashbacks to develop the characters in this
murder mystery, weaving them into the main plot. The story becomes very
intense, and is hard to put down. A very good read, and I look forward
to reading the next two books in this trilogy.
