ByPublisher Description
New York Times bestseller Ann Cleeves' beloved detectives from the Shetland series, Willow Reeves and Jimmy Perez, move to the Orkney islands and unearth a new investigation in this gripping short story.
Detectives Willow Reeves and Jimmy Perez have left Shetland and moved to Orkney, the group of islands off the northern coast of Scotland. Their house isn't quite ready yet so they decide to rent a cottage for three months, found through a police colleague.
Davie Tait is a farmer in his seventies and owns the land on which the cottage sits. Naturally, Willow and Jimmy befriend him during their stay. When a woman named Gloria comes to visit Davie one day, Willow becomes suspicious of their relationship once she learns of the unlikely circumstances that brought them together. She can't help but suspect something is amiss . . .
