In The Lewis Man, the second book of the trilogy, Fin Macleod has returned to the Isle of Lewis, the storm-tossed, wind-scoured outer Hebridean island where he was born and raised. Having left behind his adult life in Edinburgh - including his wife and his career in the police force - the former Detective Inspector is intent on repairing past relationships and restoring his parents' derelict cottage. His plans are interrupted when an unidentified corpse is recovered from a Lewis peat bog. The only clue to its identity is a DNA match to a local farmer, the now-senile Tormod Macdonald....

Histoire
When a grisly murder occurs on the Isle of Lewis that bears similarities to a brutal killing on the mainland, Edinburgh detective Fin Macleod is dispatched to the Outer Hebrides to investigate, embarking at the same time on a voyage into his own troubled past. As Fin reconnects with the people and places of his tortured childhood, the beautiful island and its ancient customs once again begin to assert their grip on his psyche. Every step toward solving the case brings Fin closer to a confrontation with the dark events of the past that shaped - and nearly destroyed - his life.

Description
Marilyn Stasio in The New York Times raved, "Peter May is a writer I'd follow to the ends of the earth." Among the many honors received, The Blackhouse, the first novel in May's acclaimed Lewis trilogy, won the Barry and Crime Thriller Hound awards.
Now, with The Chessmen, Peter May gives us a dramatic conclusion to his award-winning Lewis trilogy.
Living again of the Isle of Lewis, the ex-detective inspector Fin McLeod is working as a security officer for a local landowner. While investigating illegal activity on the estate, Fin encounters elusive poacher and former childhood friend Whistler Macaskill.
But while Fin catches up with Whistler, the two witness a freak natural phenomenon - a "bog burst" - that spontaneously drains a loch of its water, revealing a mud-encased light aircraft with a sickeningly familiar moniker on its side.
Both men immediately know that they will find inside: the body of Roddy Mackenzie, a friend whose flight disappeared more than 17 years before. But when Whistler's face appears to register something other than shock, an icy chill of apprehension overtakes Fin. What secret has Whistler been hiding from him and everyone else on the island? Fin is unprepared for how the truth about the past will alter the course of the future.

A very good ending to the Lewis Trilogy
Another strong story from Peter May. The Lewis Trilogy has its faults, but the three stories kept me interested and appreciative of May's storytelling skills. I recommend this Trilogy as a great start to discover Peter May.
So far I have listened to four of his stories - Coffin Road is also a very good book - all narrated by Peter Forbes who is a pleasure to listen to. Great combination of author and narrator.

I have enjoyed this trilogy but I didn't find this one as good as the first two. That being said it was still a good book with a few unexpected twists.

A Worthy Third to Conclude the Trilogy
It has been a pleasure to watch the evolution of the characters. They are delightfully complex, believable and placed in interesting situations. Each of the plots are equally complex and believable. I was frequently surprised and always compelled to listen further on to hear what would happen next. Peter May gives us an excellent feel for life on Lewis. Peter Forbes reading was excellent.
