About this listen

A brutal killing takes place on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland: a land of harsh beauty and inhabitants of deep-rooted faith. Detective Inspector Fin Macleod is sent from Edinburgh to investigate. For Lewis-born Macleod, the case represents a journey both home and into his past.

Something lurks within the close-knit island community.

Something sinister.

As Fin investigates, old skeletons begin to surface and soon, he, the hunter, becomes the hunted.

A story steeped in historic traditions on the Isle of Lewis but two modern murders. Read as they get her the details, the stories and lines of people on the island to solve the murder. Excellent story, wonderfully written would recommend

Although a short book, this book is the perfect introduction to the three Lewis books written by Peter May. The narration is first class throughout the series and in this book the characters are nicely put into place, as well as having some glimpses into life as it was in the Outer Hebridees and as it is today.

An excellent read, excellent narration

Brilliantly read just like the other books in the Peter May collection. Peter Forbes brings the characters to life with the change of his voice. The story keeps you gripped, wanting to find the answers but keeps you guessing till the end.

Love Peter May and Peter Forbes
