  1. Černý krkavec

    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.

    A group of old university friends leave the bright lights of London and travel to Unst, Shetland's most northerly island, to celebrate the marriage of one of their friends to a Shetlander. But late on the night of the wedding party, one of them, Eleanor, disappears - apparently into thin air. It's mid-summer, a time of light nights and unexpected mists. The following day, Eleanor's friend Polly receives an email. It reads like a suicide note, saying she'll never be found alive. And then Eleanor's body is discovered, lying in a small loch close to the cliff edge. Detectives Jimmy Perez and Willow Reeves are dispatched to Unst to investigate. Before she went missing, Eleanor claimed to have seen the ghost of a local child who drowned in the 1920s. Her interest in the legend of the ghost had seemed unhealthy - obsessive, even - to her friends: an indication of a troubled mind. But Jimmy and Willow are convinced that there is more to Eleanor's death than there first appears. Is there a secret that lies behind the myth? One so shocking that someone would kill - many years later - to protect?
