About this listen

The past can be a killer.

When the dismembered body of a notorious banker washes up on the beach at Luss, DCI John Lomond finds a sinister message carved into the dead man's forehead.
And the same message has just been found on a tortured businessman in Gullane on the east coast.

With a twisted vigilante on the loose, and a brewing scandal threatening to pull his Major Investigations Team apart, they and Lomond must join forces with a team from Edinburgh–led by Lomond's ex.

But like the killer they're hunting, she's not ready to leave the past behind.

Now, as the body count rises, Lomond's past hasn't just come back to haunt him. It could be the death of him.

Shot through with dark Glaswegian humour and thrilling twists, Andrew Raymond captures the voices of his beloved home city, taking you into its hidden depths, and the iconic hills and glens surrounding the nearby bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.
If you like writers like JD Kirk, Ian Rankin, David J. Gatward, Val McDermid, Mark Billingham, and Stuart MacBride, this addictive thriller will have you gripped until its explosive, gut-wrenching climax.

More Layers

Enjoyed the first two books in the series. They were OK but I was more connected as I am from Glasgow and can recognise the settings.

This book was on a different level with even more characters and layers to the mystery. Really enjoyed it.

Good characters

I’m enjoying these books just finished no 3. Stories are good, characters are good. I laugh out loud at times, shed tears at others and want to keep listening till it’s solved. Then I’m trying not to download the next one right away! So far unsuccessfully.

Characters maturing beautifully

This book is the 3rd in the DCI Lomond series and they get better each time. This book introduces an old flame of John’s and did have me wondering what way it would go. The plot was so clever and at one point I think the whole thing had been wrapped up then I realised there was 1hr 58mns left and what a time that was. Gasped out loud moments and mouth wide open moments. I can wait for number 4 Cold Open. The book has been available but the audio isn’t here until 1st August. I’m really loving everything this author writes.

Good story, strong characters, twisty plot, gently humorous and narrated really well. Let’s hope there is another in series.
