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.


For readers of Ian Rankin, JD Kirk and Stuart MacBride, The Glowing Man is the darkest and most epic Lomond book yet: a case that spans generations, and grips to its devastating final pages.
