The second in the Lewis trilogy from the author of The Blackhouse . It is even better than the Richard & Judy chosen first. Having left his wife and career in Edinburgh, former policeman Fin Macleod has returned to live on the island of Lewis. The discovery of a unidentified corpse in a peat bog leads to a family asking for Fin's help and he feels duty-bound to help. One of our favourites of the month.
A body is recovered from a peat bog on the Isle of Lewis. The male Caucasian corpse is initially believed by its finders to be over 2000 years old, until they spot the Elvis tattoo on his right arm. The body, it transpires, is not evidence of an ancient ritual killing, but of a murder committed during the latter half of the 20th century.
