Ann Cleeves returns to her critically acclaimed Shetland
Island series with this stunning mystery featuring Inspector
Jimmy Perez, who readers will remember from Raven Black,
White Nights, Red Bones, and Blue Lightning. When the body
of a journalist is found, Detective Inspector Willow Reeves
is drafted from outside to head up the investigation.
Inspector Jimmy Perez has been out of the loop, but his
local knowledge is needed in this case, and he decides to
help Willow.
The dead journalist had left the islands years before to
pursue his writing career. In his wake, he left a scandal
involving a young girl. When Willow and Jimmy dig deeper,
they realize that the journalist was chasing a story that
many Shetlanders didn't want to come to the surface. In
Dead Water, a triumphant continuation to her Shetland
series, Ann Cleeves cements her place as one of Britain's
most successful crime writers.
