Overview

La novela que ha inspirado la famosa serie Shetland, emitida en Filmin... Es 5 de enero. Las islas Shetland amanecen enterradas bajo un blanco manto de nieve. Fran Hunter está volviendo a casa tras dejar a su hija en el colegio cuando ve una bandada de cuervos volar en círculos sobre una mancha de color en la nieve. Es el cuerpo sin vida de Catherine Ross, su vecina adolescente. Los habitantes del pueblecito de Ravenswick tienen claro quién es el asesino: el ermitaño Marcus Tait. Pero el inspector Jimmy Perez cree que la verdad es otra. La posibilidad de que el asesino siga suelto hace que la desconfianza y la sospecha se extiendan por la pequeña comunidad. Por primera vez en años, los vecinos cierran sus puertas con llave y se miran con suspicacia los unos a los otros, recelosos de lo que la investigación del inspector Perez pueda sacar a la luz. Novela ganadora del prestigioso CWA Gold Dagger Award. La primera novela protagonizada por el inspector Jimmy Perez.

The basis for the hit series "Shetland" now airing on PBS. Winner of Britain's coveted Duncan Lawrie Dagger Award, Ann Cleeves's Raven Black introduces a dazzling suspense series to U.S. mystery readers. It is a cold January morning and Shetland lies beneath a deep layer of snow. Trudging home, Fran Hunter's eye is drawn to a splash of color on the frozen ground, ravens circling above. It is the strangled body of her teenage neighbor, Catherine Ross. The locals on the quiet island stubbornly focus their gaze on one man--loner and simpleton Magnus Tait. But when detective Jimmy Perez and his colleagues from the mainland insist on opening out the investigation, a veil of suspicion and fear is thrown over the entire community. For the first time in years, Catherine's neighbors nervously lock their doors, while a killer lives on in their midst.
