This is the last book in the Lewis Trilogy. The story starts with a suicide note being written, then the divorce of the main character of the series, Fin Macleod and his wife, before he moves back to the island of Lewis. The rest is a mixture of unofficial help with a murder investigation and the unravelling of another mystery, that of the death of a pilot of a plane landed in a loch, who turns out to hfaked his death for half a lifetime. At the same time there are the murders of several other people who are killed, whose murders need solving. I would write more, but it is hard to review a crime fiction story without spoiling the story.
