El último peón cierra una de las trilogías de novela negra más aclamadas de los últimos años, con más de 1.000.000 de ejemplares vendidos en el Reino Unido. Un lago en la isla de Lewis desaparece de la noche a la mañana, revelando los restos de una avioneta y un cadáver en su fondo. Durante diecisiete años, se creyó que la avioneta de Roddy Mackenzie, líder de un grupo musical local, había caído al océano tras despegar. Sin embargo, Fin Macleod, quien ha regresado a Lewis para comenzar una nueva vida tras dejar su puesto en el departamento de homicidios de Edimburgo, descubre que se trata de un asesinato y que su amigo Whistler guarda un secreto. Macleod siente la necesidad de investigar, lo que lo lleva a explorar su propia juventud y la historia de la isla. Pronto se da cuenta de que desenterrar la verdad podría amenazar su futuro. Peter May regresa con su emblemático personaje, el ex inspector Fin Macleod, y la isla escocesa, donde las tradiciones y secretos se transmiten de generación en generación. La crítica destaca el interés que trasciende la investigación, la perfección de la trama y la evocación de los paisajes.

Mystery fiction. Detective and mystery stories. In 1989, a killer dumped the body of twenty-year-old Lucie Martin into a picturesque lake in the West of France. Fourteen years later, during a summer heat wave, a drought exposed her remains - bleached bones amid the scorched mud and slime. No one was ever convicted of her murder. But now, forensic expert Enzo Macleod is reviewing this stone cold case - the toughest of those he has been challenged to solve. Yet when Enzo finds a flaw in the original evidence surrounding Lucie's murder, he opens a Pandora's box that not only raises old ghosts but endangers his entire family.

THE PERFECT COMPANION TO PETER MAY'S LEWIS TRILOGY, AND A PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY THROUGH THE HEBRIDEAN ISLANDS. The landscape of the Outer Hebrides, with its stark cliffs, ghostly mists and lonely beaches, has become a definitive character of Peter May's Lewis trilogy. In Hebrides, readers will accompany him on an odyssey in prose and images, through a history of the Vikings' 'Long Island' and his own deep personal connection with the islands that influenced his bestselling work. Travelling as if alongside his protagonist Fin Macleod, he describes the island life - as bewitching as it is treacherous - his encounter with the bird-hunters of Sula Sgeir, the savage seas of Ness and the churches of Eriskay. With extracts from the trilogy and specially commissioned photographs, this book places his writing and characters within the land that gave them form. Couldn't get enough of the Lewis trilogy and its extraordinary setting? Check out Peter May's latest bestseller, Coffin Road, in which the million-selling master of crime brings murder back to the Outer Hebrides.
