About this listen

The new start...

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.

The Old Friend...

This mission reunites him with Whistler Macaskill - a local poacher, Fin's teenage intimate, and possessor of a long-buried secret.

The Final Chapter...

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.

This in the end trilogy which i first bought as single book overlooks decades in the life of Finn and although being a woman i could fully being transformed into this boy/ man and all his emotions, fears, the love for Scotland and the outer hebrides which i visited too seeps theough in every sentence , his words made me walk the bezches, feel the wind , taste the salt on my lips, stunning proze giving life in the voice of peter forbes a magical combination ♥️

I have now listened to all three books in the series (to include The Lewis Man and The Chessmen) and each are excellent. I think it helps to listen to them in order because the relationships grow with each book. This book explains what happens after the dramatic climax of The Lewis Man.

I highly recommend the entire series--but listen to them in order or you might be lost.
