The body of precocious teenager Catherine Ross is discovered on a beach. Catherine and her father, oil-worker Euan, live in the same house from where nineteen years earlier another young girl, Catriona Bruce, disappeared, though no corpse was found. Suspicion falls on hermit Magnus Bain, whom Catherine had recently visited for a dare with her shy friend Sally, later returning to take a photograph of Magnus for a school project. Catherine's teacher Hugo Scott initially denies seeing her out of school but when fibres from a rug in his flat are found under Catherine's nails and he admits taking her to a party given by boatyard owner Alan Isbister inspector Jimmy Perez arrests him. Then a body believed to be that of Catriona is discovered and suspicion reverts back to Magnus. Written by don @ minifie-1

Following the discovery of Catriona's body holding his sister's doll Magnus is taken into custody though it is clear he did not murder Catherine whilst Catriona's death is shown to have been an accident. Catriona's brother arrives on the island and tells Perez that when they were children their father was having an affair. The other woman turns out to be Sally's austere mother Margaret, the teacher, and she admits that Catriona saw her with her lover before running off. Magnus was aware of this. It transpires that Catherine was filming interviews with local residents for her project and the discovery of her phone shows an argument with her apparent killer. When this person is tracked down it leads the police to the actual culprit. Written by don @ minifie-1

Investigative journalist Jerry Markham, a Shetlander now based in London, returns to the island and is killed in a suspicious car accident. It appears that he was interested in the unpopular Storne gas company whose business has probably killed the fish at Joe Dalhousie's fish farm, which stands in the way of their proposed pipeline. As forensics expert Willow Reeves confirms that Jerry's death was deliberate Perez learns that Jerry's old girlfriend Evie Watt is due to marry widower John Henderson, who disliked Jerry. Evie's father, boat-builder Cameron, also had no love for the dead man who got Evie pregnant but whose family stopped their getting married. Perez invites himself to the wedding reception and sees Jerry's father Adam arguing with the bride. Soon afterwards another corpse is discovered. Written by don @ minifie-1

John Henderson is slain and a postcard bearing the words Blood Toucheth Blood found at the scene as it was in Jerry's car. Flecks of paint are found at both murder scenes, incriminating Evie, who had been painting her father's boat but then Jerry's girlfriend arrives, with a memory stick he had sent her. This shows not only that Storme Gas were into bribery but that Henderson was having an affair with Andy Belshaw's wife, making a crime of passion now a motive. Evie becomes more and more under suspicion when it transpires that she was Jerry's mole regarding the gas company but the discovery that another islander has a deep family secret leads the investigation towards its conclusion.

Perez returns to his childhood home on Fair Isle, where avian biologist Anna Blake has been murdered in her lab. Perez and his father set up an incident room in the community hall and interview the other members of Anna's research team - Finlay Caulfield, Tessa and Bill Warren, Peter Latimer and Anna's husband Frank and their student son, Joe, who has returned unexpectedly to the island. Finlay proves to have been obsessed with Anna, taking secret photographs of her and with form for stalking another girl. The Blakes had separate bedrooms and Anna was planning to leave the island with Latimer, who becomes the prime suspect. However Perez pulls a badly injured Latimer out of a burning building following an explosion, whose cause seems deliberate. Written by don @ minifie-1

Peter Latimer dies from the burns he suffered in the fire and DI Perez has a hard time believing that the death of two colleagues in 24 hours is just a coincidence. He learns that Latimer was a heavy drinker who would occasionally go off on a bender but Perez doesn't think he was the type to go off alone, something that seems to be confirmed when the pathologist finds a fracture on the back of Latimer's head. All of the other possible suspects have less than reliable alibis for the time of the fire. Joe Blake tells Perez that Donnie Tulloch killed his mother because of Joe's relationship with Donnie's son Angus, but has no evidence otherwise. When one of the suspects is caught in a lie, the truth comes out. Written by garykmcd
