The Glowing Man

Some monsters

hide in the light…

When a young woman is discovered crowned with burnt gorse in a disused quarry in rural Ayrshire, DCI Lomond is tasked with hunting a ritual killer.

As his Major Investigations Team peel back the layers of the local communities, they find links to cold cases of missing women and children – all written off or forgotten.

Now they must confront a terrifying possibility: a killer has been operating across the county for years.

But Lomond’s cold cases throw up more questions than answers: why did so many witnesses describe a suspect seen at night who glowed with light? Why did so many of those witnesses end up dead in suspicious circumstances? And why does a task force with powerful political connections want Lomond off the enquiry?

If he doesn’t find the killer, the truth will be buried forever – and die with Lomond himself.

If you like writers like Ian Rankin, JD Kirk, and

Stuart MacBride, this addictive thriller will have you gripped until its

heart-in-the-mouth climax.
