Description
When swarms of migrating birds fall from the sky, seeking shelter from the spring storms, the birders on a Texas tour are distracted by a far more shocking sight: Mick Brownscombe's dead body. Ann Cleeves' latest mystery novel, High Island Blues, is a gripping tale of murder, friendship and the power of the past to shape the present.
Old college friends Rob, Oliver and Mick reunite on the tour, hoping for spectacular sights at High Island on the Upper Texas coast. But as the rain pours down and the birds descend, Mick's body is discovered. Back in Britain, Private Investigators George and Molly Palmer-Jones are working on a minor fraud case with a connection to Mick's business. When George receives a desperate transatlantic call from his friend Rob, he is on the first plane to Texas to investigate.
As George delves deeper into the mystery, he uncovers a complex web of relationships and secrets that lead to a second, shocking discovery. With its unsettling undercurrents and intricate plot, High Island Blues is a gripping mystery that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
