The rains came down . . .

In the dark days of a Shetland winter, torrential rain triggers a
landslide that crosses the road and sweeps down to the sea.
At the burial of an old friend, DI Jimmy Perez watches the flood of

. . . and washed a body out

Everyone thinks the croft is uninhabited, but in the rubble he finds
the body of a dark-haired woman wearing a red silk dress.

Perez soon becomes obsessed with tracing her identity. Then it
emerges that she was already dead before the landslide hit
the house. Perez feels bound by duty - and something more
powerful - to find out who she was, and how she died.
