In The Lewis Man, set on the forbidding shores of Lewis Isle in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, Detective Inspector Fin Macleod, a native islander who’s come back, becomes engulfed in the mystery of a body found preserved in a peat bog, which turns out to be not 2,000 years old, but of a twentieth-century vintage, as evidenced by the Elvis tattoo on his arm.
The second leg of Scottish author Peter May’s Lewis Trilogy, a series of MacLeod crime thrillers that began with the award-winning The Blackhouse, The Lewis Man follows the detective as he unlocks secrets related both to the murder and to his own past. Like every great mystery, it’s all about time and place and a great and deep character; according to critics and the book-buying public, May’s trilogy is a must-read.
