Storm at Ness

Storm-force winds send wild seas crashing all along the coastline at Ness. The houses silhouetted on the horizon could even be those of Crobost. But in fact they are part of the township of Fivepenny.

The crime scene

Here is the exact space where the body was discovered, inside the boathouse at Port of Ness. This photograph was taken some years ago, showing the original graffiti. It has since been considerably smartened up.

The man is hanging by his neck from the rafters overhead, frayed orange plastic rope tilting his head at an impossible angle. He is a big man, buck naked, blue-white flesh hanging in folds from his breasts and his buttocks, like a loose-fitting suit two sizes too big. Loops of something smooth and shiny hang down between his legs from a gaping smile that splits his belly from side to side. The flame sends the dead man’s shadow dancing around the scarred and graffitied walls like so many ghosts welcoming a new arrival. Beyond him Uilleam sees Ceit’s face. Pale, dark-eyed, frozen in horror.
