THE CONTINUATION OF THE SERIES OF INVESTIGATIONS BY DETECTIVE JIMMY PEREZ, WHICH FORMED THE BASIS OF THE BBC SERIES "SHETLAND". In the pitiless light of a Shetland summer, a forgotten past leads to murders. In the Shetland Islands, midsummer is a time of white nights when birds sing even at midnight and the sun never sets. The artist Bella Sinclair is hosting a lavish party to celebrate the opening of an exhibition of her work at a gallery on the beach. Only the party ends abruptly when one of the guests, a mysterious Englishman, falls to the floor, claiming he doesn't know who he is or where he's from. The next day, the Englishman is found suspended from a beam with an ugly clown mask on his face. Colleagues consider it a suicide, but Detective Jimmy Perez is convinced that the man was murdered. Confidence is only strengthened when another corpse is found at the bottom of the gorge. But the detective's relationship with Fran Hunter may have clouded his mind, and he begins to doubt his own judgment. After all, at this crazy time of the year, when night turns to day, everything around is completely different from what it seems at first glance...._________________________________________________________" Anne Cleeves' intricate, thrilling thriller invites readers to enjoy a traditional mystery on an isolated island." — Washington Post Book World"Concise, atmospheric, will keep readers in suspense until the last page." — Publishers Weekly"White Nights deserves the award for the best crime writer in the USA.
