Marilyn Stasio in The NY Times raved: "Peter May is a copy writer I'd follow to the ends of the planet earth." Among the countless honors received, The Blackhouse, the first book in May's acclaimed Lewis trilogy, won the Barry and Criminal offense Thriller Hound awards. In The Lewis Man, the next reserve of the trilogy, Fin Macleod has returned to the Isle of Lewis, the storm-tossed, wind-scoured outer Hebridean island where he was born and brought up. Having left out his adult life in Edinburgh - including his wife and his job in the authorities power - the ex - Detective Inspector is purpose on repairing earlier relationships and rebuilding his parents' derelict cottage. His strategies are interrupted when an unidentified corpse is retrieved from a Lewis peat bog. The sole clue to its personal information is a DNA match to an area farmer, the now-senile Tormod Macdonald - the father of Fin's years as a child sweetheart, Marsaili - a guy who has said throughout his life to be an only child, pretty much an orphan. Reluctantly drawn into the exploration, Fin uncovers deep family secrets even while he draws closer to the killer who needs to keep them concealed. Already a global best-seller and success of numerous awards, including France's Prix des Lecteurs du Telegramme, The Lewis Man gets the lyrical verve of Ian Rankin and the gutsy risk-taking of Benjamin Black colored. As fascinating and forbidding as the Hebridean scenery, the reserve (relating to The Times) "throbs with former and present passions, jealousies, suspicions and regrets; the psychological secrets of the bleak island are even deeper than its peat bog."
