From acclaimed writer and television dramatist Peter May comes the very first book in the Lewis Trilogy--a captivating thriller series set on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland's Outer Hebrides, a solid and forbidding planet where tradition rules and individuals stick to historic methods for life. When a grisly homicide happens on the Isle of Lewis that's the hallmarks of the killing he's examining on the mainland, Glasgow investigator and indigenous islander Fin Macleod is sent to determine when the two deaths are linked. His return after almost 2 decades not just signifies a police investigation, but a journey into their own troubled past. The island is felt by him once more saying its hold on his mind of his tortured childhood, as Fin reconnects with all the folks and locations. And every advance in resolving the homicide requires him nearer to a dangerous conflict with the sad events of yesteryear that shaped--and almost ruined--Finis life. The Blackhouse is just a thriller of uncommon perspective and energy that considers the darkest recesses of the spirit.
