Fin er født og opvokset på Isle of Lewis og turen til fødeøen bliver en rejse tilbage til hans egen mørke fortid.Mens Fin langsomt genfinder relationen til de mennesker og steder, der definerede hans traumatiske barndom, begynder den barske og pittoreske ø med sine sære skikke at påvirke hans psyke. Hvert skridt han tager for at opklare sagen, bringer ham tættere på den skæbnesvangre konfrontation med de dystre hændelser i hans fortid, der næsten ødelagde hans liv.SORTHUSET er første bind i den skotske forfatter Peter Mays bedstsælgende Lewis-trilogi. Peter May, f. 1951 er en prisvindende manuskript- og romanforfatter.

Da et yderst velbevaret lig dukker op i en tørvemose på Isle of Lewis, er øboerne overbevist om, at man har gjort et epokegørende oldtidsfund af samme betydning som Tollundmanden. Den døde bliver da også hurtigt omtalt som 'Lewismanden'. Men da retsmedicinerne finder en falmet Elvis-tatovering på Lewismandens overarm, og da en dna-analyse desuden viser, at han er i nær familie med en af øens kendte skikkelser, indleder det lokale politi en mordefterforskning.Den døde har lidt en langtrukken og pinefuld død, og da Fin Macleod fra Edinburghs politi modvilligt bliver draget ind i efterforskningen, støder han ikke kun på nogle af de allermørkeste kapitler i Skotlands historie, han indser også, at jo dybere, han graver sig ned i sagen, jo tættere kommer den på ham selv. Kan han overhovedet opklare det brutale mord uden igen at miste alt?"Lewismanden" er andet bind i den skotske forfatter Peter Mays Lewis-trilogien. Det første, Sorthuset, udkom i august 2022.

Al sinds mensenheugenis vaart elk jaar tijdens het broedseizoen een groepje mannen van het Schotse eiland Lewis naar An Sgeir, een rots, zeventig kilometer uit de kust. Ze gaan daar jonge jan-van-genten uit het nest plukken en doden. Een grimmige traditie, die dit jaar zwaar uit de hand loopt. Een toegetakeld lijk in een schuur op Lewis trekt de aandacht van de politie. Is er een verband met een tweede moord, gepleegd in Edinburgh? Rechercheur Fin MacLeod wordt naar Lewis gestuurd. Hij kent het eiland goed, hij groeide er zelfs op. Hij weet dus dat het een heel, heel slecht idee is om in het verleden van de bewoners te gaan graven.Peter May (Glasgow, 1951) is een Schotse journalist, scriptschrijver en auteur. Al op 21-jarige leeftijd won hij de Fraser Award, voor beste Schotse journalist van het jaar 1973. Voor de BBC schreef hij de series "The Standard", "Squadron" en "Machair". Hij schreef verschillende romans en thrillers, vaak binnen het genre van de "tartan noir": vergelijkbaar met de bekende, donkere Scandinavische thrillers, maar met een Schotse setting. Hij combineert een zwartgallige ingesteldheid met een grote zorg voor research.

This stunning two-volume publication introduces readers to one of the largest private collections of architectural drawings in the world. Showcasing drawings and related models and artifacts dating from 1691 to the mid-twentieth century, this lavish tome provides a fascinating look at these often beautiful byproducts of architectural training and practice. The collection, assembled over a thirty-year period by investor and philanthropist Peter May, comprises more than six hundred architectural sheets, all carefully preserved and handsomely framed. Arranged by category, the sheets are primarily nineteenth and early twentieth-century competition or certification drawings by design students, as well as presentation drawings for public commissions, reconstruction studies, and interior designs. An introduction by the collector Peter May, afterwords by Mark Ferguson and Bunny Williams, and essays by leading authorities in the field--including Maureen Cassidy-Geiger, Charles Hind, Basile Baudez, Matthew Wells, and more--provide historical context for the drawings.
