A Shetland Island Mystery
by Ann Cleeves
Wild Fire is the much-anticipated final entry in Ann Cleeves's beloved Shetland Island series, which is now a major television triumph starring Douglas Henshall.
When the Flemings - designer Helena and architect Daniel - move into a remote community in the north of Shetland, they think it's a fresh start for themselves and their children.
But their arrival triggers resentment, and Helena begins to receive small drawings of a gallows and a hanged man. Gossip spreads like wildfire.
A story of dysfunctional families and fractured relationships, Inspector Jimmy Perez's eighth case will intrigue series fans and Shetland Island newcomers alike.
"Starred Review. Intricately plotted and elegantly written, this installment is billed as Perez's final case. Series fans will be sorry to see the last of him." - Publishers Weekly
"The final case in this complex, character-driven series is a tour de force." - Kirkus
