30. A Casa Negra, Peter May

447 Páginas

A Ilha de Lewis é o local mais desolador e austeramente belo de toda a Escócia. A rigidez da rotina diária apenas é mitigada pelo temor a Deus. Quando um assassinato sangrento cometido na ilha revela marcas semelhantes a um caso de Edimburgo, o detetive da polícia Fin Macleod é enviado para norte, para o investigar. Todos os anos, doze homens da ilha, alguns dos quais amigos de infância de Fin, partem para um remoto e traiçoeiro rochedo chamado An Sgeir, numa perigosa epopeia para caçarem as crias de uma ave marinha local. Este é, acima de tudo, um ritual de passagem que é ferozmente defendido contra todos os pressupostos da moralidade moderna. Mas, para Fin, a caça encerra memórias dolorosas, que podem, mesmo tanto tempo depois, exigir um enorme sacrifício.

Moving to remote Shetland has been unsettling enough for consultant surgeon Tora Hamilton, even before the gruesome discovery she makes one rain-drenched Sunday afternoon... Deep in the peat soil of her field she's shocked to find the perfectly preserved body of a young woman, a gaping hole in her chest where her heart has been brutally removed. 

Three rune marks etched into the woman's skin bear an eerie resemblance to carvings Tora has seen all over the islands: in homes she has visited, even around a fireplace in her own cellar. But, as she uncovers disturbing links to an ancient Shetland legend, the police, her smooth-talking boss and even her own husband are at pains to persuade her to leave well alone. 

Is their concern genuine? Perhaps, for when terrifying threats start rolling in like the cold island mists, it seems someone wants Tora out of the picture, once and for all...
