Set against a stunning Scottish backdrop, Shetland is written by David Kane (The Field Of Blood) and is based on the book Red Bones by crime writer Ann Cleeves.

When a young archaeologist discovers a set of human remains, the island community is intrigued to know if it’s an ancient find or a contemporary mystery. And when an elderly woman is shot dead on her land in mysterious circumstances, Perez and his team find themselves at the centre of two feuding families whose envy, greed and bitterness has divided the surrounding community.
