In The Killing Stones, Ann Cleeves returns to her beloved detective Jimmy Perez, now living with his partner Willow and their son on the Orkney Islands. A fierce storm hits the islands, and Perez is shocked to learn that his childhood friend, Archie Stout, has disappeared. When Perez travels to Westray, he discovers Archie’s body at an archaeological dig, having been struck by a Neolithic stone inscribed with ancient spirals — a chilling and unusual murder weapon.

As Perez investigates, he becomes entangled in the complex lives of the islanders. Suspects emerge, including a charismatic new artist, a teacher, and secretive archaeologists. The deeper he digs, the more he realizes that Archie’s death is tied to deep-rooted legends and long-buried secrets. Ann Cleeves crafts a haunting mystery where personal history and prehistoric stone collide, and Perez must distinguish myth from reality before the killer strikes again.
