It’s midsummer in the
Shetland Islands, the time of the white nights, when birds sing at
midnight and the sun never sets. Artist Bella Sinclair throws an
elaborate party to launch an exhibition of her work at The Herring
House, a gallery on the beach.
The party ends in farce when one
the guests, a mysterious Englishman, bursts into tears and claims not to
know who he is or where he’s come from. The following day the
Englishman is found hanging from a rafter, and Detective Jimmy Perez is
convinced that the man has been murdered. He is reinforced in this
belief when Roddy, Bella’s musician nephew, is murdered, too.
But
the detective’s relationship with Fran Hunter may have clouded his
judgment, for this is a crazy time of the year when night blurs into day
and nothing is quite as it seems.
