On Shetland, the launch of an exhibition at The Herring House art gallery is disturbed by a stranger who bursts into tears, then claims not to remember who he is or where he comes from. The next day, Detective Jimmy Perez finds his body in a fisherman's hut.

Initially, it seems to be a straightforward case of suicide, yet this is no desperate act and is instead the work of a cold and calculating killer. As Perez investigates, he finds himself mired in the hidden secrets of a small community. Then another body is found.

Perez knows he must find the killer before another death occurs. But it is midsummer, an unsettling time when the sun never really sets in Shetland and nothing is quite as it seems...

White Nights is the second book in Ann Cleeves' bestselling Shetland series - a major BBC One drama, starring Douglas Henshall.
