FROM THE CREATOR OF THE BESTSELLING SERIES ABOUT DETECTIVE VERA STENHOPE.
ANN CLEVES IS THE RECIPIENT OF THE PRESTIGIOUS «DUNCAN LAWRENCE DAGGER» AWARD IN THE «BEST DETECTIVE» CATEGORY.
A NEW STORY FROM THE SERIES OF INVESTIGATIONS BY DETECTIVE JIMMY PEREZ—THESE BOOKS WERE THE BASIS FOR THE BBC SERIES «SHETLAND».
Under the merciless brightness of a Shetland summer, the past that people would rather forget comes back to haunt them—and brings death.
Midsummer on the Shetland Islands is the season of white nights: birds don’t stop singing even at midnight, and the sun seems to refuse to sink below the horizon. Artist Bella Sinclair hosts a lavish reception to celebrate the opening of her exhibition at the seaside gallery. But the festivities end when one of the guests—a mysterious Englishman—suddenly collapses, insisting he doesn’t remember his name or how he ended up here.
In the morning, he is found hanged from a beam, with an ugly clown mask on his face. To everyone around, it looks like suicide, but Detective Jimmy Perez is certain: the man was helped to die. Suspicion turns into conviction when a second body is discovered below, at the bottom of a gorge.
And yet, Perez begins to doubt himself: his feelings for Fran Hunter may interfere with his ability to assess facts soberly. In a time when day scarcely gives way to night, familiar signposts disappear—until it becomes clear that on these islands nothing is what it seems…
