The Killing Stones marks the return of Detective Inspector Jimmy Perez, now living in Orkney with his partner Willow Reeves and their young son, after leaving Shetland, as a ferocious storm uncovers the body of popular local Archie Stout, bludgeoned to death with a Neolithic stone bearing ancient inscriptions. Perez, who knew Archie from childhood, leads the investigation into the tight-knit island community rife with secrets, blending personal stakes with the challenge of separating folklore from fact amid potential suspects and the threat of further violence. Set against the dramatic Orkney landscape, the standalone novel explores themes of community, isolation, and human darkness, delivering a gripping mystery praised for its expert plotting, vivid characters, and atmospheric tension.
