Description
Detective Fin Macleod returns to the remote, starkly beautiful Isle of Lewis, the place of his childhood, to investigate a brutal murder that mirrors a crime in Edinburgh. This homecoming forces him to confront not only a chilling mystery but also the ghosts of his own past and a deeply ingrained island culture where ancient, pagan traditions clash with modern morality. As Fin delves deeper, he uncovers a dark history intertwined with a savage annual ritual, suggesting that the island's primal urges may be demanding another sacrifice. Peter May masterfully weaves a gripping crime novel that explores the enduring power of the past and the darkness that lies beneath the surface of even the most isolated communities.
