Living again off the Isle of Lewis, ex-detective inspector Fin Macleod is working as a security officer for a local landowner. While investigating illegal activity on the estate, Fin encounters the elusive poacher and former childhood friend and bandmate Whistler Macaskill.

When Fin catches up with Whistler among the windswept hills of the estate, the two witness a freak natural phenomenon - a bog burst - that drains a loch of all its water in a flash, revealing a mud-encased light aircraft with a sickeningly familiar moniker on its side.

Both men immediately know what they will find inside: the body of Roddy Mackenzie, a friend whose flight disappeared more than 17 years earlier. But when Whistler's face appears to register something other than shock, an icy chill of apprehension overtakes Fin.

What secret has Whistler been hiding from him, and everyone else on the island? Fin is unprepared for how the truth about the past will alter the course of the future.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This intriguing story alternates between the present, the past, and the distant past, skillfully introducing all of the characters and motives that will play an integral part in the solution of the mysteries. It is powerfully written, both in the descriptions of the barren landscape and the complicated and constantly changing relationships of the primary people involved." (Mystery Scene Magazine)

"May brings his acclaimed Lewis trilogy to a close with a novel that is both wrenching and hopeful.... [A]n utterly absorbing mystery." (Booklist, starred review)

"The Chessmen is well up to the high standard of its two predecessors: tightly plotted, with no skimping on either the nuances of character or the wonderfully evocative descriptions of rugged island landscapes that have made these books a true pleasure to read." (The Guardian)
Gripping Plot • Complex Characters • Multilayered Storylines • Great Storytelling • Twists And Turns • Flawless Accents

Third book in an incredible series. I really loved getting to know Fin and listening to his adventures from childhood to adult. I’m sad this series is over. I already miss him.

Completely amazing!

These three books are great on their own, and even greater together. I just found out there’s a fourth after being sad that this was the end, and I’m picking it up right now!

Unforgettable characters, setting, story

I was entranced with Mr.May's trilogy, and this last book was full of great twists and turns .
The presentation was well done and the effective characterizations will stick with me like old friends.
Thank You.

Sad it's over.

I absolutely love the writing of Peter May. He paints wonderfully vivid pictures of the Isle of Lewis and moving interactions between the characters.

The narrator, Peter Forbes, was excellent, as well, although I found a very few of the Gaelic words mispronounced. (In his defense, though, it is a hard language to master, as I can attest after my two years of studying Scots Gaelic!)

At the end of this third book of the Lewis trilogy, I'm left wanting more. I suppose that may be the highest compliment a writer can receive, and I gladly give it to Mr. May.

Brilliant story; masterfully written and performed

great narration of otherwise very dark, unhappy story. would be nice if there was some happiness to break the mean, tragic circumstances that continually surround the main characters. Worth a credit, just kept hoping something good would happen- everyone deserves some happiness

good plot, dark sad ending

Peter Forbes narrates this and the previous two books of this Trilogy by Peter May. His narration is incredible in each of these books, and the stories themselves are equally incredible. May’s gifted writing coupled with Forbes’ gifted narration make for an Absolute Must Hear if you have any sense at all! Be sure to avail yourself of these treasures!!

Read the first 2 books some years ago and enjoyed then very much. But, I think this final book is the best. Beautifully written. I decided to complete my experience of these books with the Audible version and a.m so glad I did. The narration was exquisite and deepened the sense of place in the bleak beauty of the Hebrides.

Best of the trilogy!

…but certainly excellent mystery fiction with many gripping moments as well as intimate ones. And the narrator really found his voice in this one. Or shall I say voices. It was easy to recognize the characters and the women sounded like women.

Not quite as compelling as the first two in the series…

Such a great story-teller! The characters are flawed but likable. The setting, brooding. Can’t wait to read the fourth book of the “trilogy”.

Another Great Peter May Story
