Book 1 in the Lewis Trilogy
The book takes place on the stark island of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides off the norther coast of Scotland. The murder of a childhood nemesis brings DS Fin MacLeod back to the island of his birth to investigate the crime since it seems on the surface related to a previous murder in Edinburgh. The story alternates between the current events surrounding the crime and MacLeod's childhood on the island. May breathes so much life into the island of Lewis that it feels like a character by itself. This is a stark world that is painted beautifully. The story is good, the characters strong, and the sense of place is outstanding.
