It is a cold January morning and Shetland lies buried beneath a deep layer of
snow. Trudging home, Fran Hunters eye is drawn to a vivid splash of colour on
the white ground, ravens circling above. It is the strangled body of her teenage
neighbour Catherine Ross. As Fran opens her mouth to scream, the ravens continue
their deadly dance. The locals on the quiet island stubbornly focus their gaze
on one manloner and simpleton Magnus Tait. But when police insist on opening the
investigation a veil of suspicion and fear is thrown over the entire community.
For the first time in years, Catherines neighbours nervously lock their doors,
whilst a killer lives on in their midst
