      Sull'isola di Lewis viene rinvenuto il cadavere di un ragazzo miracolosamente conservatosi nel tempo. Il corpo, sul quale sono ancora visibili profonde ferite da taglio, inizialmente si ritiene sia rimasto sepolto per secoli. Ma nel corso delle analisi, sul braccio destro emerge un tatuaggio: Elvis. Dunque il ragazzo deve essere rimasto nella torba per una cinquantina d'anni al massimo. Sull'isola di Lewis, nel frattempo, ha fatto ritorno l'ex detective Fin Macleod. Abbandonato il corpo di polizia a Edimburgo, Fin è tornato per riaccomodare la vecchia fattoria di famiglia e lasciarsi alle spalle alcune vicende dolorose. La storia del ragazzo della torbiera, però, lo coinvolge fin da subito. Il Dna del cadavere infatti ha diversi punti in comune con quello di Tormod Macdonald, padre di una vecchia fiamma di Fin, ora diventato un vecchio obnubilato dalla demenza senile. Un uomo che aveva sempre dichiarato di non avere parenti. Una verità che, come Fin ben presto scoprirà, Tormod aveva buoni motivi per continuare a tenere nascosta.

      Tutto è estremo nel lembo di terra più a ovest d'Europa, l'isola di Lewis. Anche le suggestioni e grandi misteri. Come quel piccolo aereo riemerso dalle acque di un lago a diciassette anni dalla scomparsa. Ancora con il suo pilota a bordo. Un'altra strana vicenda per l'ex poliziotto scozzese Fin Macleod. Dopo aver abbandonato la polizia e aver deciso di stabilirsi definitivamente sulla più settentrionale delle isole Ebridi, Fin Macleod tiene lontano i cacciatori di frodo dalle terre di un facoltoso locale. Ed è proprio nel corso di un giro di ricognizione in quegli aspri territori che, in compagnia dell'amico Whistler, si imbatte nella più incredibile delle visioni. Un piccolo velivolo, all'apparenza intatto, col rosso e il bianco della fusoliera ancora ben visibili, è apparso su un cumulo di sassi, nell'alveo di un lago che si è appena ritirato. A bordo, il corpo di Roddy Mackenzie, una vecchia conoscenza di Fin e Whistler. E ben presto Fin si rende conto che della vicenda Whistler sa molto più di quanto non voglia ammettere. Dopo L'isola dei cacciatori di uccelli e L'uomo di Lewis l'episodio conclusivo del trittico che in Inghilterra ha venduto oltre un milione di copie.

      THE PERFECT COMPANION TO PETER MAY'S LEWIS TRILOGY, AND A PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY THROUGH THE HEBRIDEAN ISLANDS. The landscape of the Outer Hebrides, with its stark cliffs, ghostly mists and lonely beaches, has become a definitive character of Peter May's Lewis trilogy. In Hebrides, readers will accompany him on an odyssey in prose and images, through a history of the Vikings' 'Long Island' and his own deep personal connection with the islands that influenced his bestselling work. Travelling as if alongside his protagonist Fin Macleod, he describes the island life - as bewitching as it is treacherous - his encounter with the bird-hunters of Sula Sgeir, the savage seas of Ness and the churches of Eriskay. With extracts from the trilogy and specially commissioned photographs, this book places his writing and characters within the land that gave them form. Couldn't get enough of the Lewis trilogy and its extraordinary setting? Check out Peter May's latest bestseller, Coffin Road, in which the million-selling master of crime brings murder back to the Outer Hebrides.

His short, informative, easy-to-read essays bring to life racing's milestone events that set the nation on a different path, such as the 1913 Derby, and the sacrifices horseracing made to support the British military campaigns overseas. A host of anecdotes tell of the exploits of the racing fraternity and cast light on the psyche of those who were prepared to take on bets which, at today's rates, would stretch into millions. Sure to rekindle fond, and maybe distant, memories of the races and horses that once dominated the sporting section of the daily newspapers.
