Red Bones
Autor Ann Cleevesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 iul 2026
When a woman's death finds Inspector Jimmy Perez out of his depth, he must dig up long-buried secrets to uncover the truth in Red Bones, the third Shetland mystery from Ann Cleeves.
Filmed as a major BBC 1 drama starring Douglas Henshall as Jimmy Perez.
After a young archaeologist uncovers a set of human remains, the island settlers are intrigued. Is it an ancient find - or a more contemporary mystery?
Then, in the middle of the night, an elderly woman is shot dead. It appears to be a tragic accident, but Jimmy Perez is called to investigate.
The sparse landscape and the emptiness of the sea have bred a fierce and secretive people. As Jimmy looks to the islanders for answers, he finds instead two feuding families whose envy, greed and bitterness have lasted generations. To solve the crime - and prevent further bloodshed - Perez must ask questions that some on the island do not want to be asked . . .
