The Isle of Lewis is the most remote, harshly beautiful place in Scotland, where the difficulty of existence seems outweighed only by people's fear of God. But older, pagan values lurk beneath the veneer of faith, the primal yearning for blood and revenge. When a brutal murder on the island bears the hallmarks of a similar slaying in Edinburgh, police detective Fin Macleod is dispatched north to investigate. But since he himself was raised on Lewis, the investigation also represents a journey home and into his past.

Work Description
When a grisly murder occurs on the Isle of Lewis with the hallmarks of a killing he's investigating on the mainland, Edinburgh detective and native islander Fin MacLeod is dispatched to see if the two deaths are connected. His return after nearly two decades not only represents a police investigation, but a voyage into his troubled past. Every step in solving the murder takes him closer to a dangerous confrontation with the tragic events that shaped his life.
