A brutal killing takes place on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland: a land of harsh beauty and inhabitants of deep-rooted faith.

Detective Fin Macleod is sent from Edinburgh to investigate. For Lewis-born Macleod, the case represents not only a journey home but a voyage into his past, as he attempts to rediscover the life and people he left behind.

He must also revisit a horrific memory, in the form of an ancient island ritual that, eighteen years previously, changed his life irreparably.

This memory is equally fresh in another islander's mind: someone who, now Fin has returned, is determined to ensure he never leaves again.

The Blackhouse is a crime novel of rare power and vision. It is a murder mystery that explores the shadows in our souls, set in a place where the past is ever near the surface, and life blurs into myth and history.
