Wild Fire

A woman’s death sees rumours flood the island community – as Inspector Jimmy Perez’s life is about to change forever. Wild Fire is the eighth Shetland mystery from Ann Cleeves.

A new English family have moved to Shetland, eager to give their autistic son a better life. But when a young nanny’s body is found hanging in the barn of their home, rumours of her affair with the husband begin to spread like wild fire.

With suspicion raining down on the family, DI Jimmy Perez is called in to investigate. For him it will mean returning to the islands of his on-off lover and boss Willow Reeves, who will run the case.

Perez is already facing the most disturbing investigation of his career when Willow drops a bomb-shell that will change his life forever. Is he ready for what is to come?

Now a major BBC One drama, Shetland, starring Douglas Henshall.
