  • "De Schotse inspecteur Fin Macleod keert na 18 jaar terug naar ziijn geboorte-eiland Lewis, waar een moord is gepleegd die een sterke gelijkenis vertoont met een moord in zijn huidige woonplaats Edinburgh."
  • "When a grisly murder occurs on the Isle of Lewis with the hallmarks of a killing he's investigating on the mainland, Edinburgh detective and native islander Fin MacLeod is dispatched to see if the two deaths are connected. His return after nearly two decades not only represents a police investigation, but a voyage into his troubled past. Every step in solving the murder takes him closer to a dangerous confrontation with the tragic events that shaped his life."

  • "The Isle of Lewis is the most remote, harshly beautiful place in Scotland, where the difficulty of existence seems outweighed only by people's fear of God. But older, pagan values lurk beneath the veneer of faith, the primal yearning for blood and revenge. When a brutal murder on the island bears the hallmarks of a similar slaying in Edinburgh, police detective Fin Macleod is dispatched north to investigate. But since he himself was raised on Lewis, the investigation also represents a journey home and into his past. Each year the island's men perform the hunting of the gugas, a savage custom no longer necessary for survival, but which they cling to even more fiercely in the face of the demands of modern morality. For Fin the hunt recalls a horrific tragedy, which after all this time may have begun to demand another sacrifice. The Blackhouse is a crime novel of rare power and vision. Peter May has crafted a page-turning murder mystery that explores the darkness in our souls, and just how difficult it is to escape the past."@en

  • "L'inspecteur Fin McLeod, meurtri par la mort de son fils, enquête sur un assassinat à Edimbourg. Il poursuit ses recherches dans son île natale écossaise où Angel, une amie d'enfance, a été tuée selon un mode opératoire similaire. Mais comme chaque année, une douzaine d'hommes part à la chasse aux oiseaux migrateurs sur un îlot, expédition qui, il y a dix-huit ans, a failli coûter la vie à Fin.--[Memento]."
  • "A murder A brutal killing has taken place on Scotland's most remote island. Detective Fin MacLeod is sent from Edinburgh to investigate. For Lewis-born MacLeod, the case represents a journey both home and into his past. A secret: Something lurks beneath the close-knit, God-fearing facade of the Lewis community. Something primal. As Fin investigates, old secrets are unearthed, and soon he, the hunter, becomes the hunted."
  • "Seit Fin Macleod seinen kleinen Sohn verloren hat, leidet er unter Alpträumen und lässt sich bei seinem Arbeitgeber, der Kriminalpolizei von Edinburgh, nicht mehr blicken. Als er von seinem Chef aufgefordert wird, nun endlich zu entscheiden, wie es weitergeht, überzeugt ihn seine Frau davon, die Arbeit wieder aufzunehmen. Fin wird auf die kleine, stürmische Isle of Lewis vor der Küste Schottlands geschickt. Dort ist er aufgewachsen, aber seit achtzehn Jahren nicht mehr gewesen. Auf der Insel ist ein grausamer Mord passiert, nach demselben modus operandi wie bei einem Fall in Edinburgh. Bei seinen Ermittlungen trifft er auf die Weggefährten seiner Jugend, darunter Marsaili, Fins erste Liebe. Und Artair, der Anführer ihrer alten Clique, mit dem Marsaili inzwischen verheiratet ist. Der Fall führt Fin immer tiefer in die eigene Vergangenheit und reisst alte Wunden wieder auf."
