Peter May has again crafted a taut, suspenseful thriller set on the wild and windswept Outer Hebrides, this time on the Isle of Harris. Twisty plot turns and seemingly unconnected mysteries characterize this novel of corporate intrigue, old unsolved riddles, a man washed up on a lonely shore with no memory of his previous existence, and an angry young woman looking for her father. Add the eco theme of vanishing honey bees, and you have an interesting and irresistible read. As always, Peter May's descriptions of the rocky, desolate landscape, seas and horizons of the remote islands are cinematic in nature and this book reads very much like a television program or movie.
