A stolen child. A killer stalking the streets of Glasgow. A troubled detective running out of time.
Join Andrew Raymond on Thursday 17th July, at 7pm, as he chats about his explosive Scottish crime thriller The Bonnie Dead, which will have you gripped until its haunting, heart-in-the-mouth climax.
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?
