Resumen del Editor
Living again off the Isle of Lewis, ex-detective inspector Fin Macleod is working as a security officer for a local landowner. While investigating illegal activity on the estate, Fin encounters the elusive poacher and former childhood friend and bandmate Whistler Macaskill.
When Fin catches up with Whistler among the windswept hills of the estate, the two witness a freak natural phenomenon - a bog burst - that drains a loch of all its water in a flash, revealing a mud-encased light aircraft with a sickeningly familiar moniker on its side.
Both men immediately know what they will find inside: the body of Roddy Mackenzie, a friend whose flight disappeared more than 17 years earlier. 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.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"This intriguing story alternates between the present, the past, and the distant past, skillfully introducing all of the characters and motives that will play an integral part in the solution of the mysteries. It is powerfully written, both in the descriptions of the barren landscape and the complicated and constantly changing relationships of the primary people involved." (Mystery Scene Magazine)
"May brings his acclaimed Lewis trilogy to a close with a novel that is both wrenching and hopeful.... [A]n utterly absorbing mystery." (Booklist, starred review)
"The Chessmen is well up to the high standard of its two predecessors: tightly plotted, with no skimping on either the nuances of character or the wonderfully evocative descriptions of rugged island landscapes that have made these books a true pleasure to read." (The Guardian)

Historia
Stewart Gilmour is back in Stonemouth. After five years in exile his presence is required at the funeral of patriarch Joe Murston, and even though the last time Stu saw the Murstons he was running for his life, staying away might be even more dangerous than turning up. An estuary town north of Aberdeen, Stonemouth, with its five mile beach, can be beautiful on a sunny day. On a bleak one it can seem to offer little more than seafog, gangsters, cheap drugs and a suspension bridge irresistible to suicides.

It happened the day of the Moon Festival. It could have been left behind, they all could have moved on with their lives. But secrets have a habit of rising to the surface, especially in small towns. Two couples, four ironclad friendships, the perfect coastal holiday town. With salt-stung houses perched like lifeguards overlooking the shore, Lago Point is the scene of postcards, not crime scenes. Wife and mother Abbi, town cop Blake, schoolteacher Hannah and local doctor Will are caught in their own tangled webs of deceit.

Historia
London is in lockdown under martial law. A hospital is being urgently built by the river Thames to contain the thousands of victims of a flu-like epidemic. Construction is brought to a sudden halt when a leather holdall containing the bones of a child is unearthed from the rubble. A psychopath has been unleashed on the city; his mission is to take all measures necessary to prevent the bones from being identified. But why are he and his handlers determined to go to such murderous lengths to hide the origins of the body?

Completely amazing!
Third book in an incredible series. I really loved getting to know Fin and listening to his adventures from childhood to adult. I’m sad this series is over. I already miss him.

Brilliant story; masterfully written and performed
I absolutely love the writing of Peter May. He paints wonderfully vivid pictures of the Isle of Lewis and moving interactions between the characters.
The narrator, Peter Forbes, was excellent, as well, although I found a very few of the Gaelic words mispronounced. (In his defense, though, it is a hard language to master, as I can attest after my two years of studying Scots Gaelic!)
At the end of this third book of the Lewis trilogy, I'm left wanting more. I suppose that may be the highest compliment a writer can receive, and I gladly give it to Mr. May.

good plot, dark sad ending
great narration of otherwise very dark, unhappy story. would be nice if there was some happiness to break the mean, tragic circumstances that continually surround the main characters. Worth a credit, just kept hoping something good would happen- everyone deserves some happiness

Sad it's over.
I was entranced with Mr.May's trilogy, and this last book was full of great twists and turns .
The presentation was well done and the effective characterizations will stick with me like old friends.
Thank You.

Peter May’s The Chessmen
Peter Forbes narrates this and the previous two books of this Trilogy by Peter May. His narration is incredible in each of these books, and the stories themselves are equally incredible. May’s gifted writing coupled with Forbes’ gifted narration make for an Absolute Must Hear if you have any sense at all! Be sure to avail yourself of these treasures!!

Best of the trilogy!
Read the first 2 books some years ago and enjoyed then very much. But, I think this final book is the best. Beautifully written. I decided to complete my experience of these books with the Audible version and a.m so glad I did. The narration was exquisite and deepened the sense of place in the bleak beauty of the Hebrides.

Why are they calling this a trilogy?
I don't want it to be over. I thoroughly enjoyed all three books and hope that Peter May and Peter Forbes get the band back together for at least one more gig. (Small voice: so what am I supposed to do with myself now)

Best of the trilogy, and that's high praise
Absolutely wonderful. Peter Forbes adds Spanish to the list of accents he does flawlessly, and is otherwise his usual excellent self. The plot is twisty and the character development is totally satisfactory. I saw the final twist at the very end coming a mile away, but that's not the primary thrust of the story.
Peter May has clearly spent some time either playing in or hanging around with modern Celtic progressive-folk bands, because he gets that stuff absolutely right. (I've spent a fair bit of time doing those things myself.) I love it that a major driver of the plot is the friction resulting from disagreement over the band's name; that rings extremely true. It's interesting, though, that the band's original name, before they change it to something else, is something that sounds like "solace." Having only heard the novel and not read it, I don't know how that's spelled, but May may have missed the point that there's a very well-known Celtic band called Solas, pronounced the same way. They're Yanks, but they're super-famous, at least among people who pay attention to Celtic bands. They've been around since the mid-90s, and any Scottish folkie would be familiar with them. It seems unlikely that May wasn't, but if he was, then this must have been a deliberate choice, and it seems like an odd one. But it's a tiny point and doesn't detract from the book in any way.

What a letdown! May lost his fire...
I loved the first two books of The Lewis Trilogy and was SO looking forward to this third installment. Such a disappointment. So many of the features that made the first two books amazing - genuine interpersonal dynamics between Finn, his childhood friends and other islanders; historical information about the islands; multi-layered plot lines, etc. to name a few- were entirely absent. As the dialogue- mostly an inner monologue in Finns' head or with 1-2 other characters- plodded along, it seemed not to advance the plot but only to add more "grey area" to the existing skeletal structure. The first two books I found riveting- so much so that I listened overnight! But as this droned on and on I found myself not caring how it ended. Then, suddenly, the trip off-island revealed almost all of the ending with only a few loose ends to tie up. Meanwhile, some of the interesting plot lines from the first two books were barely addressed- Finn's relationship with his old love, his new life on the island, his relationship with the police force, and so forth. Perhaps author Peter May was sick of this series and resorted to old plot devices and hacks just to get it over with. Shame on him- what a waste of potential!
