The Blood Strand is the first book in the Faroes series. The book sees Jan Reyna, a British police detective, who grew up in the Faroes but has long since returned. He is drawn back to the now foreign islands when his estranged father is found unconscious with a shotgun and someone else’s blood beside him. When a man’s body washes up on the beach, the obvious assumption is to look towards Jan’s father. Now, Jan will search for answers with the local detective Hjalti Hentze. As they investigate, Reyna learns more about his family and the truth besides his own mother’s flight from the Faroes. The search has him considering leaving the islands for good.
The series continues with The Killing Bay. This story sees a group of international activists heading to the Faroe Islands as they hope to stop the whale hunting that goes on. Tensions between the locals and the protestors is high and then gets even higher when a woman is found murdered. The evidence seems to point to this crime being done to make matters escalate between the two sides. Reyna and Hentze investigate this one and soon learn that there is much more to this murder than the protests.
