Na malém ostrůvku v souostroví Shetlandy zná každý každého, a když je za chladného lednového dne nalezena uškrcená mladá dívka, rázem je všem jasné, že vrahem nemůže být nikdo jiný než starý podivín Magnus. Už jednou na něj padlo podezření, poté co pár let předtím zmizela jiná malá dívenka, jejíž tělo zmizelo. Nic jim neříkej, poradila tehdy Magnusovi jeho matka; zdá se ale, jako by se její rady drželi všichni obyvatelé ostrova. Pravda o skutečném vrahovi tak vychází najevo ztěžka a pomalu, o to je však v závěru překvapivější. Za kriminální román Černý krkavec obdržela Ann Cleevesová (autorka série Vera) celosvětově nejprestižnější žánrové ocenění Duncan Lawrie Dagger Award.
