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.

Kept me awake listening for hours

I didn’t enjoy book 2 but this one gripped me from start to finish. Enjoyable character development and quick witted turn of phrase by DCI Lomond. Great narration as always from Mr. King.

Excellent

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

Good instalment of the Lomond series

The 3rd of the series and DCI Lomond and his colleagues have developed their back stories and characters a bit further. Angus King's narration is spot on as usual - nicely paced with very few mispronunciations or fake accents.
I didn't enjoy the so-called banter between the special investigations police - it sounded like out-dated bullying from the 1980s - and added nothing to the story.
I believe there are others in this series, but not available on Audible - would be good to sort that out please.
Recommended for fans of the genre.

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.
