Dead Water - The fifth Shetland novel
A journalist working a story. Now his murder is a headline . . .
When the body of a journalist is found in a traditional Shetland boat, Detective Inspector Willow Reeves is drafted in to head up the investigation.
Jimmy Perez has been out of the loop, but his local knowledge is needed and he decides to help the inquiry. Originally a Shetlander, the journalist had left the islands years before to make a name for himself in London, leaving a scandal in his wake. He had few friends in Shetland, so why was he back?
When Willow and Jimmy dig deeper, they realise that he was chasing a story that many Shetlanders didn't want to come to the surface. One that must have been significant enough to kill for . . .
Dead Water is the fifth book in Ann Cleeves' bestselling Shetland series - a major BBC One drama, starring Douglas Henshall.
