The Lewis Trilogy is Peter May's crime sequence set in the islands of Scotland, with Fin MacLeod as its detective. The Blackhouse (2009) opens it, The Lewis Man (2011) and The Chessmen (2012) complete the three, and The Black Loch (2024) makes a fourth, so the run is also catalogued as the Lewis Tetralogy. Murder investigation, island life and family secrets are the recurring subjects.
