DCI LOMOND BOOK 1
THE BONNIE DEAD
A stolen child. A killer stalking the streets of Glasgow. A troubled detective running out of time.
Five years ago, DCI John Lomond led the search for notorious Glasgow child-killer ‘The Sandman’, until personal tragedy forced him off the case.
In Lomond’s absence, the killer was never found.
Now, with nothing but work left in his life, Lomond remains obsessed with the case – despite the nightmares it brings.
When a child is abducted in similar Sandman fashion from an affluent Glasgow suburb, Lomond is brought in to find them before it’s too late.
But the only forensic evidence belongs to a little girl who was abducted and murdered twenty years ago.
Could the Sandman’s identity lie buried in the coldest of cold cases? Or is a new killer about to claim their first victim?
Shot through with dark Glaswegian humour and thrilling twists, he captures the voices of his beloved home city, taking you into its hidden depths, and the iconic hills and glens of nearby Loch Lomond and Arran.
If you like writers like Ian Rankin, JD Kirk, and Michael Connelly, this addictive thriller will have you gripped until its haunting, heart-in-the-mouth climax.

What readers say...
I loved the way the characters were written so that I immediately felt connected and invested in them. The investigation was fast paced and interesting, and so well written I could actually feel anxiety build at certain points in the story. There was also some humour, funny, dry one liners to lighten the mood at times and make me chuckle, but the ending......oh my, it was excellent, a cracking twist and well, there aren't many police procedurals that can make me cry, but this one did. I'm so pleased to have found this author, and I'm now off to buy the whole series so I can binge. Do yourself a favour..buy this book!!!
Absolutely brilliant storyline……. Had me hooked from beginning to end. I raced through this book I need to slow down with the next one to appreciate the great work of Andrew Raymond. Crime thriller writing at its very best
Excellent book! Well written with such believable characters and amazing plot! Would never have guessed the ending. Can't wait to start the next one!
A great crime thriller, based in Glasgow. Characters well done and likeable, plot with plenty of twists and I love the setting. Looking forward to more DCI Lomond thrillers.
