More crime on Shetland

As does Raven Black, Bolton’s novel opens with the discovery of a body in a field. This corpse, though, is more gruesome: the woman’s heart has been removed, and her back has three incisions, resembling runes. Turner says: “With a deliciously sinister plot, a race against time and plenty of forensic

detail, this is perfect for fans of Tess Gerritsen and Nicci French.”

Turner bought world English rights in Sacrifice and a second thriller through Anne-Marie Doulton at the Ampersand Agency. The novel will appear on the Bantam Press list in 2008.
