Raven black
(Book)
Long a celebrated crime writer in Britain, Ann Cleeves’ fame went international when she won the coveted Duncan Lawrie Dagger for this amazing suspense novel, Raven Black. Like Colin Dexter’s Inspector Morse or Peter Robinson’s Inspector Banks, Cleeves’ new detective, Inspector Jimmy Perez, is a very private and perceptive man whose bailiwick is a remote hamlet in the Shetland Islands.
It is a cold January morning and Shetland lies beneath a deep layer of snow. Trudging home, Fran Hunter’s eye is drawn to a splash of color on the frozen ground, ravens circling above. It is the strangled body of her teenage neighbor, Catherine Ross.
The locals on the quiet island stubbornly focus their gaze on one man---loner and simpleton Magnus Tait. But when detective Jimmy Perez and his colleagues from the mainland insist on opening out the investigation, a veil of suspicion and fear is thrown over the entire community. For the first time in years, Catherine’s neighbors nervously lock their doors, while a killer lives on in their midst.
Ann Cleeves is sure to dazzle U.S. mystery readers with this unforgettable series debut. This series is the basis for the hit BBC show Shetland, starring Douglas Henshall, which attracted over 12 million viewers in its first two nights on the air.

520 | |a It is a cold January morning and Shetland lies beneath a deep layer of snow. Trudging home, Fran Hunter's eye is drawn to a splash of colour on the frozen ground, ravens circling above. It is the strangled body of her teenage neighbour, Catherine Ross. While Catherine lies in the snow, Shetland police patiently await the arrival of the murder squad from the Scottish mainland. Meanwhile, news of her death filters quickly through the quiet islands. It seems that the locals are stubbornly focusing their gaze on one man--loner and simpleton Magnus Tait. However, Catherine's startling and vicious demise has thrown a veil of suspicion over everyone who knew her, and detective Jimmy Perez is determined to keep the investigation open and the rumours at bay. Soon the Inverness and Shetland police are infiltrating the peaceful community and residents are looking at each other with unnatural suspicion and fear, nervously locking their doors for the first time in years. Meanwhile, Catherine's killer lives on in their midst. | ||
