Dött vatten
av Ann Cleeves
En journalist hittas död i en båt i marinan nedanför åklagarens hus på den största av Shetlandsöarna. Det blir den unga Willow Reeves från en ö i Yttre Hebriderna som får hand om fallet, eftersom kriminalaren Jimmy Perez är halvt sjukskriven efter sin fästmös död. Men Jimmy Perez kan förstås inte låta bli att engagera sig i fallet och hjälpa sin kollega. Markham, den döde journalisten, kom ursprungligen från Shetlandsöarna, men hade lämnat dem för många år sedan och gjort sig ett namn i London. Varför hade han nu återvänt? Willow Reeves och Jimmy Perez kommer i sitt sökande till Sullum Voe, centrum för Shetlands olje- och gasindustri i Nordsjön. Snart visar det sig att Markham under sina sista dagar arbetade med ett stort reportage, uppenbarligen ett som var tillräckligt avslöjande för att motivera hans död ... Dött vatten är den första boken i en ny kvartett berättelser från Shetlandsöarna, fortfarande med Jimmy Perez i huvudrollen. Med miljöerna, personporträtten och intrigerna i spänningsromanerna från Shetlandsöarna har Ann Cleeves nått både den stora publiken och kritikerna. För den första boken i kvartetten, Svart som natten, fick hon både det prestigefyllda engelska priset Gold Dagger Award och nominerades till det svenska Martin Beck Award.

När en ung arkeolog vid utgrävningar på Whalsey, en av de mindre Shetlandsöarna, hittar kvarlevor av en människa, blir öborna förbryllade. Är skallen ett fornfynd eller något av senare datum? Kort därefter skjuts en äldre kvinna till döds i en mystisk olycka. Polisen Jimmy Perez kallas till platsen av kvinnans sonson, Sandy Wilson, som också är kollega till Perez. Det ödsliga landskapet och det vidsträckta havet har frambringat ett obändigt och hemlighetsfullt folk. Mima Wilson hade varit en enstöring, hon hade sin mark, sin stolthet och sin familj. Men varför reagerade hon så märkligt på det arkeologiska fyndet? När Perez inleder sin undersökning bland lokalbefolkningen finner han två släkter som sedan generationer legat i fejd med varandra och vars avund, snikenhet och förbittring delat samhället i två läger. Han känner sig ensam och osäker, omgiven av främmande människor, långt hemifrån. När den tidiga våren sveper in ön i en klaustrofobisk dimma inträffar ytterligare ett dödsfall. Jimmy Perez inser att gamla hemligheter måste fram i ljuset om en mördare ska kunna hindras att slå till igen?Ann Cleeves belönades med prestigefyllda Duncan Lawrie Dagger för bästa engelska kriminalroman för Svart som natten (2007), en bok som också nominerades till Martin Beck Award av Svenska Deckarakademien.
