Some murders leave behind more than just a body...
Still mourning the devastating loss of a close colleague, DCI Lomond and his team are called in to investigate a murder on the set of a popular Scottish detective TV show.
But the victim isn’t a star actor. It’s the show’s official police advisor – legendary Serious Crime Squad detective Jack Beattie.
Beloved by all who worked with him, the crime appears to be without motive or suspects.
Until Lomond digs into Beattie’s seemingly unblemished career, and uncovers shocking secrets involving Lomond’s superiors.
With a brash new addition to his Major Investigations Team, and the press breathing down his neck, Lomond must risk his entire future – both personal and professional – to bring a brutal killer to justice.
From the bestselling author of The Bonnie Dead, Andrew Raymond captures the voices of his beloved home city, and takes you into its hidden depths.
If you like writers like JD Kirk, Ian Rankin, and Val McDermid, this addictive thriller will have you gripped until its devastating final pages.
Andrew Raymond lives and writes in Glasgow, Scotland with his wife and little boy. His first book, Official Secrets, has sold over 100,000 copies, and the series in total has over 10 million Kindle Unlimited page reads. His first crime book, The Bonnie Dead, introduces Police Scotland’s premier investigator DCI John Lomond. The first in a thrilling Scottish crime series, shot through with dark Glaswegian humour and gripping twists, that take you into the hidden depths of Andrew's home city, as well as the iconic hills and glens of the Scottish highlands.
