The chessmen
Fin Macleod, now head of security on a privately owned Lewis estate, is charged with investigating a spate of illegal game-hunting taking place on the island. This mission reunites him with Whistler Macaskill--a local poacher, Fin's teenage intimate, and possessor of a long-buried secret. But when this reunion takes a violent, sinister turn and Fin puts together the fractured pieces of the past, he realizes that revealing the truth could destroy the future.

Scottish author May's final installment in "The Lewis Trilogy" (after The Lewis Man) finds retired Detective Inspector Fin McLeod taking on a security job to investigate illegal poaching on a private estate. McLeod reconnects with Whistler, a childhood friend, who is also a suspect in the poaching incident. McLeod's investigation takes a turn when he and Whistler stumble upon a crashed airplane in a peat bog with a dead body inside, which happens to be that of a former classmate who mysteriously vanished almost 20 years ago. Narrator Peter Forbes brings the characters to life and adds richness to the author's beautifully detailed descriptions of the desolate landscapes of the Isle of Lewis in the outer Hebrides of Scotland. VERDICT Recommended for fans of the series and other Scotland-set mysteries.-Phillip Oliver, Univ. of North Alabama Lib., Florence (c) Copyright 2015.
