But late on the night of the wedding party, one of them, Eleanor, disappears - apparently into thin air. It's mid-summer, a time of light nights and unexpected mists. The following day, Eleanor's friend Polly receives an email. It appears to be a suicide note, saying she'll never be found alive. And then Eleanor's body is discovered, lying in a small loch close to the cliff edge. Detectives Jimmy Perez and Willow Reeves are dispatched to Unst to investigate. Before she went missing, Eleanor claimed to have seen the ghost of a local child who drowned in the 1920s. Her interest in the ghost had seemed unhealthy - obsessive, even - to her friends: an indication of a troubled mind. But Jimmy and Willow are convinced that there is more to Eleanor's death than they first thought. Is there a secret that lies behind the myth? One so shocking that someone would kill - many years later - to protect? Ann Cleeves' striking Shetland novel explores the tensions between tradition and modernity that lie deep at the heart of a community, and how events from the past can have devastating effects on the present.Also available in the Shetland series are Raven Black, White Nights, Red Bones, Blue Lightning, Dead Water, Cold Earth and Wild Fire.

    Vicekriminalkommissær Jimmy Perez rejser hjem til sin fødeø, Fair Isle, for at præsentere sin forlovede for sine forældre. Efterårsstormen raser, og Fair Isle er isoleret. Øboerne føler sig fanget, og spændingerne vokser. Nok til at drive nogen til mord … Besøget udvikler sig til en efterforskning, da en kvinde findes myrdet i det anerkendte fugleobservatorium. Ingen kan forlade øen, før stormen lægger sig, og Jimmy Perez skal arbejde hurtigt. Der er en morder på øen, der måske vil slå til igen. Pressen skriver: »Krimien er spændende og truende og fuld af barsk natur, som ville kunne gøre enhver vanvittig. Jeg læste desuden en del om fugle under læsningen, og det virker, som om Cleeves har vendt hver sten, hun beskriver. Som at være der selv.« – Femina, Julia Lahme »Ann Cleeves har i alle fire bøger formået at gøre de barske øer og deres beboere levende, men Fair Isle-historien får ekstra farve af den fuglekiggerbesættelse, man genkender fra det virkelige liv. Heldigvis uden mord altså.« **** – Berlingske, Bente Cornelius

    Ann Cleeves' bestselling series of crime novels, featuring Detective Jimmy Perez, now also adapted for a major BBC television series, draw their inspiration from the place in which they take place: Shetland. In this gloriously illustrated companion to her novels, Ann Cleeves takes readers through a year on Shetland, learning about its past, meeting its people, celebrating its festivals and seeing how the flora and fauna of the islands changes with the seasons.An archipelago of more than a hundred islands, it is the one of the most remote places in the United Kingdom. Its fifteen hundred miles of shore mean that wherever one stands, there is a view of the sea. It has sheltered voes and beaches and dramatically exposed cliffs, lush meadows full of wild flowers in the summer and bleak hilltops where only the hardiest of plants will grow. It is a place where traditions are valued and celebrated, but new technologies and ways of working are also embraced. Whether it is the drama of the Viking fire festival of Up Helly Aa in winter, or the piercing blue and hot pink of spring flowers on the clifftops, the long, white nights of midsummer or the fierce gales and high tides of autumn, Shetland is vividly captured in all its bleak and special beauty.

    118,95 kr.

    Picking up the primary scent of any investigation, this anthology of wicked tales paints a chilling portrait of modus operandi--the signature that identifies any repeat offender. In this collection of villainous narratives, a coroner reveals a body's telltale clues to his students as he unwittingly dissects his own relationship, a broken-down driver turns his roadside routine into a quite different type of pick-up, and two creative-writing tutors discuss the merits of "hard-boiled" versus "cozy" schools of crime writing while a murderous student points out that it's really procedure that counts. From the ex-doctor tenderly administering a final prescription to his victims to the party of finishing school debutantes exacting revenge on their lecherous host, these stories demonstrate that, even with the most despicable of crimes, there is always methodology within the madness.

Men sent om natten under bryllupsfesten forsvinder én af vennerne, Eleanor – tilsyneladende i den blå luft. Det er midsommer, en tid med lyse nætter og uforudsigelig tåge på Shetlandsøerne.Dagen efter opdager Eleanors veninde Polly en e-mail. Det ligner et selvmordsbrev fra Eleanor, hvis lig kort efter bliver fundet.Vicepolitikommissærerne Jimmy Perez og Willow Reeves bliver sendt til Unst for at undersøge sagen. Før Eleanor forsvandt, mente hun, at hun havde set spøgelset af et barn, som druknede i 1920’erne. Hendes venner havde fundet hendes interesse for spøgelset nærmest sygelig, men Perez og Reeves bliver hurtigt overbeviste om, at der gemmer sig mere bag Eleanors død, end de først troede.Ann Cleeves’ bemærkelsesværdige Shetland-roman udforsker spændinger mellem det traditionelle og det moderne – spændinger, der ligger dybt i hjertet af lokalsamfundet – og hvordan begivenheder, der fandt sted i fortiden, kan have en ødelæggende effekt i nutiden.Blå luft er en del af Ann Cleeves’ Shetland-serie, der er filmatiseret af BBC og følges af millioner af seere over hele verden. Bogen udkom første gang i 2014. Bøgerne kan både læses i forlængelse af hinanden eller hver for sig.Ann Cleeves (f. 1954) er en britisk forfatter, der blandt andet står bag en lang række krimier, der er udkommet i mange lande verden over. Hendes bøger om kriminalkommissær Vera Stanhope er blevet lavet til en populær krimiserie af ITV med titlen ”Vera”, og bøgerne om mord på Shetlandsøerne er blevet lavet til krimiserien ”Shetland” af BBC. Begge har ligesom bøgerne, de er baseret på, nået et stort publikum i store dele af verden. Ann Cleeves har modtaget flere udmærkelser for sin forfattergerning og blev blandt andet Officer of the Order of the British Empire i 2022."Ann Cleeves, der har kritiseret kriminalforfattere for en forkærlighed for ultravold, holder sig hellere til psykologi og beskrivelser af barske miljøer og kuldslåede skæbner på den fjernt beliggende øgruppe (...) forholdet mellem især politikollegerne er beskrevet med indlevelse og humor."- 4 hjerter, Politiken"Naturen drager, og forfatteren Ann Cleeves er eminent til at formidle miljøbeskrivelser – både på det overnaturligt naturskønne plan, men så sandelig også hvad angår det landsbyliv, som hersker i området."- Fyns Amts Avis"Bogen er velfortalt og spændende, og hun er god til at formidle den særlige stemning i et lille tyndt befolket lokalsamfund, og den store betydning naturens kræfter har på livet på de små udsatte øer. Er man blevet lidt "mæt" af de mange skandinaviske krimier, er denne serie en rigtig god afveksling, og er man glad for engelske provinskrimier er den et must."- Dagbladet Køge
