It is January, and a thick layer of snow covers the Shetlands... Returning home early in the morning, Fran Hunter spots a colorful splash on the frozen ground and crows circling above. As she approaches, she encounters the corpse of her teenage neighbor and opens her mouth to scream, while the crows continue their macabre dance.
The residents of the quiet island stubbornly turn their gaze to one man: the solitary and simple Magnus Tate, who had raised suspicions years ago when a little girl went missing. Is he really a sick murderer or just the easy target of the closed community of the Shetlands?
As Detective Jimmy Perez and his colleagues from headquarters insist on investigating all possibilities, a veil of suspicion and fear spreads through the community. A murderer is lurking among them...
An atmospheric and dark psychological novel that won the highly prestigious Duncan Lawrie Dagger literary award in the Best Crime Novel category. Ann Cleeves lives in North Tyneside in northeastern England and worked as a judicial officer, as a cook at a bird observatory, and in the coast guard before turning to writing books.
She is a member of the "Murder Squad," composed of six crime fiction writers aimed at promoting this literary genre. Many of Ann Cleeves' novels – including those featuring detective Vera Stanhope, published by Klidrathos Editions – have been adapted for the small screen in BBC and ITV television series.
