The Lewis Man — Peter May

A mummified body is discovered in a peat bog on the Isle of Lewis. Perforated by several stab wounds. the male corpse is initially believed to be more than two thousand years old -- until the police spot the Elvis tattoo on the right arm. Clearly, the body is evidence of a murder committed during the latter half of the twentieth century.

Having left his previous life in Edinburgh, including his career as a detective inspector, native islander Fin Mcleod is intent on repairing past relationships and restoring his parents' derelict croft on Lewis. With the discovery of the corpse, which DNA tests determine is a familial match to the father of his childhood sweetheart, Fin finds himself once again chasing the past across the beautiful, rugged Outer Hebrides in a hunt for long-buried secrets.
