A Neolithic stone, bearing cryptic, ancient inscriptions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow living in Orkney with his partner, Willow, and their young son, Perez is drawn into a case that is chillingly personal―Archie was a friend from his own childhood. And the island is full of familiar faces, all of whom are potential suspects in the killing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerez must immerse himself in the lives of the islanders, separating truth from local legend before a desperate killer can strike again . . . and threaten the new life he's desperately trying to build.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ann Cleeves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46721259995314,"sku":"9781035043170","price":257.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/9191\/8002\/files\/9781035043170.jpg?v=1777542685","url":"https:\/\/www.wordsworth.co.za\/products\/the-killing-stones-paperback","provider":"Wordsworth Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
