Description
The body of Caitlin Black is found at the mouth of An Loch Dubh, the Black Loch, on the west coast of the Isle of Lewis. The young woman, a regular contributor to environmental issues and an accomplished swimmer, was raped and beaten before being murdered. When Fionnlagh, his son with Marsaili, is accused of the crime, Fin Macleod quits his job with the Glasgow police and immediately flies back to his childhood home. He left ten years earlier to live freely with Marsaili. How can he exonerate his son when the evidence is overwhelming? How can he reconnect with the Hebrides when whales are washing up on the beaches? How can he confront the shadows that resurface from the past? In this game of deception, Fin Macleod will have to navigate the lies and secrets of men, the cruelties of the ocean that forgive neither the reckless nor the foolhardy. And if necessary, face death. With this poignant novel, Peter May brings back to life the iconic hero who has captivated millions of readers worldwide and once again grips us in the depths of Black Loch.
