The electrifying follow up to the award-winning Raven
Black
Raven Black received crime fiction's highest monetary
honor, the Duncan Lawrie Dagger Award. Now Detective Jimmy
Perez is back in an electrifying sequel.
It's midsummer in the Shetland Islands, the time of the
white nights, when birds sing at midnight and the sun never
sets. Artist Bella Sinclair throws an elaborate party to
launch an exhibition of her work at The Herring House, a
gallery on the beach.
The party ends in farce when one the guests, a mysterious
Englishman, bursts into tears and claims not to know who he
is or where he's come from. The following day the Englishman
is found hanging from a rafter, and Detective Jimmy Perez is
convinced that the man has been murdered. He is reinforced
in this belief when Roddy, Bella's musician nephew, is
murdered, too.
But the detective's relationship with Fran Hunter may have
clouded his judgment, for this is a crazy time of the year
when night blurs into day and nothing is quite as it seems.
A stunning second installment in the acclaimed Shetland
Island Quartet, White Nights is sure to garner
American raves for international sensation Ann Cleeves. 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.
