Ann Cleeves

Ein Mörder, der keine Spuren hinterlässt. Ein Opfer, das im Nichts verschwindet. Es hätte der schönste Tag in Carolines Leben werden sollen: Hochzeit auf den Shetlands. Mittsommernacht, die Küste in silbernes Licht getaucht.

Ein schöner Ort zum Sterben... Das Leben in Valley Farm scheint perfekt: Hier im Nordosten Englands leben vier Ehepaare in einem abgeschiedenen Tal seit Jahren ganz für sich.

Ein kleines Städtchen hoch oben im Norden: Dicke Schneeflocken fallen auf Newcastle nieder, Weihnachten steht vor der Tür. Detective Ashworths Vorfreude verfliegt jedoch schnell. Auf dem Heimweg sieht er eine alte Dame tot in der Bahn sitzen, ihr Körper weist Messerstiche auf.

Als in einem Fischerboot die Leiche des Journalisten Jerry Markham entdeckt wird, ruft man Hilfe vom Festland: Anstelle von Jimmy Perez, der noch unter dem Tod seiner Verlobten leidet, soll die junge Willow Reeves auf den Shetlands ermitteln. Die junge Kollegin ist ihm entschieden zu forsch.
