Cold Earth

Cold Earth is the seventh book in the Shetland series from Ann Cleeves, the number one bestselling author and creator of Vera and the Two Rivers. A woman is found dead in the flooded ruins of a croft house – but it was not the flood that killed her, and Inspector Jimmy Perez has a murderer on his hands .

A body is found in the wreckage of a destroyed home. Consumed by the investigation, Inspector Jimmy Perez struggles for the truth in Cold Earth, the seventh Shetland mystery from Ann Cleeves.

In the black days of a Shetland winter, torrential rain triggers a landslide that crosses the main road and sweeps down to the sea.

At the burial of his old friend Magnus Tait, Inspector Jimmy Perez watches the flood of peaty water and mud smash through a croft house in its path. Everyone thinks the croft is uninhabited, but in the wreckage he finds the body of a dark-haired woman wearing a red silk dress. Perez becomes obsessed with finding out her identity and what she was doing there.

Then it emerges that she was already dead when the landslide hit the house and, suddenly, Perez finds himself with a murder to solve .

Now a major BBC One drama, Shetland, starring Douglas Henshall.

Continue the atmospheric crime series with Wild Fire, the final Shetland novel.
