Detective Jimmy Perez is back. He's traded the stark beauty of Shetland for the wild isolation of Orkney, but the darkness of human nature follows him everywhere. Now living in Orkney with his partner, Willow, and their young son, Perez is drawn into a case that is chillingly personal—Archie was a friend from his own childhood. And the island is full of familiar faces, all of whom are potential suspects in the killing. Perez must immerse himself in the lives of the islanders, separating truth from local legend before a desperate killer can strike again . . . and threaten the new life he's desperately trying to build.

'Bold and dramatic, with a restless love of landscape' – Val McDermid, author of Past Lying
'Like snuggling up with dear friends . . . a complex mystery with vivid setting and beloved characters' – Tess Gerritsen, author of The Summer Guests
'A masterpiece in character and location. Welcome back, Jimmy Perez!' – M. W. Craven, author of Nobody's Hero
'Unmatched elegance, ingenious plots, and deep characters. Worth every minute' – David Baldacci, author of The 6:20 Man
'Jimmy Perez is a fine creation' – Peter Robinson, author of the DCI Banks series
