PETER MAY: THE MAN WHO BROUGHT MURDER TO THE OUTER HEBRIDES

THE NEW START

Fin Macleod, now head of security on a privately owned Lewis estate, is charged with investigating a spate of illegal game-hunting taking place on the island.

THE OLD FRIEND

This mission reunites him with Whistler Macaskill - a local poacher, Fin's teenage intimate, and possessor of a long-buried secret.

THE FINAL CHAPTER

But when this reunion takes a violent, sinister turn and Fin puts together the fractured pieces of the past, he realizes that revealing the truth could destroy the future.

MEDIA REVIEWS

A rip-roaring thriller . . . thoroughly enjoyable - Mail on Sunday

A wonderfully complex book

The Lewis Man shone like a bright star out of this year's book lists. Lyrical, empathetic and moving

He is a terrific writer doing something different

From the first page I knew I was in safe hands. I knew I could trust this writer

Wonderfully compelling

Western France - now May's own stamping ground - is as much a character in the book as the Hebrides were in his formidable Isle of Lewis sequence - Guardian

Peter May is a writer I'd follow to the ends of the earth - New York Times

Instantly struck by the beauty of the descriptions of the wild island terrain as well as by the roundedness and complexity of the characterisations - The Times

One of the best regarded crime series of recent years - Independent

May's novels are strong on place and the wounds left by old relationships - Sunday Times

“Too bleak?”

I read the first 2 books in this trilogy and enjoyed them, particularly the Lewis Man. I enjoyed the Chessmen but did find it rather depressing and felt quite deflated after reading the final chapters. Perhaps a bit... More

“Brilliant conclusion”

A fitting conclusion to a remarkable and well planned trilogy.
Remarkably all three separate books stand alone but this brings matters to a dramatic conclusion. There is also so much new information and history... More

“I want more!”

The last of the brilliant Lewis trilogy and not to be revisited, according to author Peter May. So take your time and savour every page! Another great tale unfolds amid the windswept moors and craggy rocks of Lewis.... More
