DI Fin Macleod has been sent from Edinburgh to his home, the Isle of
Lewis, to help with an investigation into a murder he was investigating
on the mainland just before the tragic death of his so. He is welcomed
in Stornoway by DS George Gunn, however, not by DCI Tom Smith, who had
also been sent up from the mainland to run the investigation.
As DS Gunn drives Macleod around his former home, memories come flooding
back. His investigation leads him to a childhood friend, whose
daughter had been allegedly raped by the victim. He also meets with an
animal rights protester who had been beaten up by the victim. Could
either of these men have killed the man and then hoisted him to a
rafter?
The more Macleod investigates, the more about his own past comes to
light. Yet will that past continue to haunt him as the investigation
progresses? Author Peter May has written a fast paced, riveting murder
mystery, which will keep the reader engrossed.
I initially read this book a few years ago, and upon reading it a second time, I found that author Peter May really spoke to me on a personal level.
