An unidentified corpse is recovered from a Lewis peat bog; the only clue to its identity being a DNA sibling match to a local farmer. But this islander, Tormod Macdonald - now an elderly man suffering from dementia - has always claimed to be an only child. When Tormod's family approach Fin Macleod for help, Fin feels duty-bound to solve the mystery.

Review of 'The Lewis Man' on 'Goodreads'

Fin as a plod, is a bit lacking, often didn't ask the questions that I would have asked. A few times I was saying out loud - why didn't you ask them about this/that/so and so/who/where/when? But anywhoo I enjoyed the story, and have just started #3 in the series.

Review of 'The Lewis Man' on 'Goodreads'

I read this in one sitting and really enjoyed it. It's less grim than the first book in the series (Blackhouse) - which seems a strange thing to say in light of the story, but it lacks Blackhouse's overwhelming oppressiveness. That said, without the first one, this would make little sense. I'm definitely going to read the third book.
