The body of journalist Jerry Markham is found, hidden in a boat by the marina. Detective Inspector Willow Reeves is drafted in to investigate... Since the death of his fiancee, Inspector Jimmy Perez has been out of the loop, but his interest in this new case is stirred and he decides to help the inquiry. Markham - originally, a Shetlander who then made a name for himself in London - had moved away from the island years before. In his wake, he left a scandal involved a young girl, Evie Watt, who is now engaged to a seaman. He had few friends in Shetland, so why was he back? Willow and Jimmy are led to Sullom Voe, the heart of Shetland's North Sea oil and gas industry. It soon emerges from their investigation that Markham was chasing a story in his final days. One that must have been significant enough to warrant his death...

I didn’t enjoy this book as much as her others. It was a bit slow and I’m not sure the motive for murder was adequate so I didn’t guess the murderer, but then I don’t often anyway.
