Su questo libro

Recensione:

A rip-roaring thriller . . . thoroughly enjoyable (Mail on Sunday)

A wonderfully complex book (Peter James, on Entry Island)

The Lewis Man shone like a bright star out of this year's book lists. Lyrical, empathetic and moving (Alex Gray)

He is a terrific writer doing something different (Mark Billingham)

From the first page I knew I was in safe hands. I knew I could trust this writer (Sohpie Hannah)

Wonderfully compelling (Kate Mosse)

Western France - now May's own stamping ground - is as much a character in the book as the Hebrides were in his formidable Isle of Lewis sequence (Guardian)

Peter May is a writer I'd follow to the ends of the earth (New York Times)

Instantly struck by the beauty of the descriptions of the wild island terrain as well as by the roundedness and complexity of the characterisations (The Times)

May's novels are strong on place and the wounds left by old relationships (Sunday Times)
