Crime writer Ann Cleeves is appealing for help after losing a laptop containing the draft of half her next novel in a blizzard in Shetland.
The novelist, whose books have been adapted into the television series Shetland, fears the computer may have fallen out of her bag as she made her way through Lerwick in wintry conditions on Monday.
She is offering a reward for the return of the laptop, though said it is probably buried under “a foot of snow” by now as the islands have been hit by severe wintry weather.
