A Prey to Murder

Before Shetland and Vera, Ann Cleeves wrote the George and Molly Palmer-Jones series following remarkable mysteries in a birdwatching community-now available for the first time in the US.

The huge and powerful hawk dominated the scene. Its talons pierced the woman's flesh and the beak pointed towards her eyes . . .

The sight is a particularly horrible shock for George Palmer-Jones, ornithologist and amateur detective, as he was an old friend of the victim Eleanor Masefield. George and his wife Molly are staying at Eleanor's family-run hotel, but Molly can't help but be suspicious of Eleanor.

Is Eleanor a black widow-a ruthless manipulator of all those caught in her far-reaching web? Can Molly prove it in time to prevent another death?
