Raven Black

On New Year's Day, a blanket of snow covers the remote Shetland Islands when Fran Hunter discovers the strangled body of her teenage neighbor, Catherine Ross. Ravens circle above the scene, marking a dark beginning to the year. Local suspicion quickly focuses on Magnus Tait, an elderly outcast who was previously implicated in another girl's disappearance years prior.

Inspector Jimmy Perez, a native of the islands, is tasked with the investigation. He resists the easy answers and delves into the community's past, uncovering a web of distrust and long-held secrets beneath the seemingly placid surface. As Perez navigates the intricate relationships within this isolated world, he challenges the assumptions of the islanders, forcing a deeper look into the dark corners of human nature.
