The Killing Stones

Detective Jimmy Perez returns in a chilling new case set in the wild isolation of Orkney. After trading the stark beauty of Shetland for a new life with his partner Willow and their young son, Perez is drawn into a deeply personal investigation when a ferocious storm uncovers the body of Archie Stout - a popular community member and Perez's childhood friend. The murder weapon is a Neolithic stone bearing cryptic ancient inscriptions, possibly a real artifact known as a Westray Story Stone. As rumors swirl about the victim's temper and a mysterious local artist, Perez must navigate the secrets of the islanders and the traditions of the Orkney Ba' before a desperate killer strikes again, threatening the family life he has worked so hard to build.
