Цикл книг «Шетланд» — 8 книг

Классический детектив, вот только не английский, а шотландский. Энн Кливз — последовательница самого успешного шотландского детективщика Йена Рэнкина. Она сплетает детективный сюжет с психологической историей и помещает все это в загадочный шотландсий пейзаж.

"Вороново крыло" — это не просто шотландский детектив, а шетландский, ведь история разворачивается на одном из Шетландских островов. Холодное январское утро, заснеженные Шетланды. Монохромный бледный пейзаж нарушает лишь одно яркое пятно, над которым кружат вороны. На промерзшей земле лежит тело молодой девушки…

На острове никогда не происходило серьезных преступлений, и убийство становится главным событием для всех без исключения жителей. Все указывает на то, что в страшном злодеянии виновен Магнус, одинокий старик со странностями. Но вскоре под подозрением оказываются едва ли не все обитатели острова. И впервые здесь начинают запирать двери и окна — ведь по острову все еще бродит таинственный убийца.

История, начинающаяся, как романтическое приключение под Новый год, очень быстро обращается в затейливый детектив — не менее затейливый, чем традиционный шетландский узор на теплом свитере.

The electrifying follow up to the award-winning Raven Black

Raven Black received crime fiction’s highest monetary honor, the Duncan Lawrie Dagger Award. Now Detective Jimmy Perez is back in an electrifying sequel.

It’s midsummer in the Shetland Islands, the time of the white nights, when birds sing at midnight and the sun never sets. Artist Bella Sinclair throws an elaborate party to launch an exhibition of her work at The Herring House, a gallery on the beach.

The party ends in farce when one the guests, a mysterious Englishman, bursts into tears and claims not to know who he is or where he’s come from. The following day the Englishman is found hanging from a rafter, and Detective Jimmy Perez is convinced that the man has been murdered. He is reinforced in this belief when Roddy, Bella’s musician nephew, is murdered, too.

But the detective’s relationship with Fran Hunter may have clouded his judgment, for this is a crazy time of the year when night blurs into day and nothing is quite as it seems.

A stunning second installment in the acclaimed Shetland Island Quartet, White Nights is sure to garner American raves for international sensation Ann Cleeves.

A group of old university friends leave the bright lights of London and travel to Unst, Shetland's most northerly island, to celebrate the marriage of one of their friends to a Shetlander. But late on the night of the wedding party, one of them, Eleanor, disappears - apparently into thin air. It's mid-summer, a time of light nights and unexpected mists. The following day, Eleanor's friend Polly receives an email. It reads like a suicide note, saying she'll never be found alive. And then Eleanor's body is discovered, lying in a small loch close to the cliff edge.

Detectives Jimmy Perez and Willow Reeves are dispatched to Unst to investigate. Before she went missing, Eleanor claimed to have seen the ghost of a local child who drowned in the 1920s. Her interest in the legend of the ghost had seemed unhealthy - obsessive, even - to her friends: an indication of a troubled mind. But Jimmy and Willow are convinced that there is more to Eleanor's death than there first appears.

Is there a secret that lies behind the myth? One so shocking that someone would kill - many years later - to protect?
