Blue Lightning

Shetland Detective Jimmy Perez knows it will be a difficult
homecoming when he returns to the Fair Isles to introduce his fiancee, Fran, to
his parents. It's a community where everyone knows each other, and strangers,
while welcomed, are still viewed with a degree of mistrust. Challenging to live
on at the best of times, with the autumn storms raging, the island feels cut off
from the rest of the world. Trapped, tension is high and tempers become frayed.
Enough to drive someone to murder...
When a woman's body is discovered at
the renowned Fair Isles bird observatory, with feathers threaded through her
hair, the islanders react with fear and anger. With no support from the mainland
and only Fran to help him - Jimmy has to investigate the old-fashioned way. He
soon realizes that this is no crime of passion - but a murder of cold and
calculated intention. With no way off the island until the storms abate - Jimmy
knows he has to work quickly. There's a killer on the island just waiting for
the opportunity to strike again...
