Raue Landschaft, dunkle Geheimnisse. Whalsay: ein kleines, beschauliches Eiland. Teil der Shetlandinseln. Nur 1030 Einwohner, die sich vom Fischfang ernähren.

Doch Detective Jimmy Perez ist sich da nicht so sicher. Kurze Zeit zuvor war bei Ausgrabungen auf Mimas Land ein Skelett gefunden worden.

Als Joanna vermisst wird, macht sie sich höchstpersönlich auf die Suche. Die Spur führt zum Writers House, wo gerade ein Krimi-Workshop stattfindet. Dort hat man es längst nicht mehr mit fiktiven Mordfällen zu tun: Im Wintergarten wurde ein Dozent erstochen. Angeblich von Joanna. Doch die beteuert ihre Unschuld.

Alles beginnt mit einer ärztlich verordneten Abmagerungskur: Unter den schlanken Schönheiten im Wellness-Hotel fühlt sich Kommissarin Vera Stanhope ziemlich fehl am Platze.
