Description

Having left the Faroes as a child, Jan Reyna is now a British police detective, and the islands are foreign to him. But he is drawn back when his estranged father is found unconscious with a shotgun by his side and someone else's blood at the scene. Then a man's body is washed up on an isolated beach. Is Reyna's father responsible?Looking for answers, Reyna falls in with local detective Hjalti Hentze. But as the stakes get higher and Reyna learns more about his family and the truth behind his mother's flight from the Faroes, he must decide whether to stay, or to forsake the strange, windswept islands for good.

Promotion info

A new, tense and lyrical crime series set on the Faroe Islands. Features Detective Jan Reyna, a native Faroese who has grown up in Britain but returns to the islands. Highly atmospheric and tightly plotted, this will appeal to fans of Henning Mankell and Ann Cleeves. Reminiscent of Peter May's Lewis novels.
