"Red Bones"

New from Minotaur/Thomas Dunne Books: Red Bones by Ann Cleeves.

About the book, from the publisher:

When a young archaeologist discovers a set of human remains, the locals are intrigued. Is it an ancient find—or a more contemporary mystery? Then an elderly woman is fatally shot and Ann Cleeves’s popular series detective Jimmy Perez is called in. As claustrophobic mists swirl around the island, Inspector Perez finds himself totally in the dark.
Red Bones is the third volume in the Shetland Island Quartet.

Ann Cleeves' Raven Black, the first volume in the Shetland Island Quartet, received crime fiction’s highest monetary honor, the Duncan Lawrie Dagger Award. Booklist called White Nights “[g]ripping from start to finish.”
