Who will it ring for next?

When a man's body is found in the grounds of Glasgow Cathedral, arranged with chilling care, DCI John Lomond's Major Investigations Team have only one lead: a memorial notice in the paper for a man who wasn't dead yet.

Then a second body appears. A second notice. And a detail at both scenes points to the four miracles of St Mungo, from Glasgow's own coat of arms: The bird. The tree. The bell. The fish.

Someone is turning Glasgow's founding legends into murder scenes.

Two miracles down. Two to go…

But as Lomond digs into the victims' pasts, he finds a connection darker than any legend – a grudge carried for decades, and a list of names left to cross off.

In old Glasgow, the dead bell was rung through the streets before a funeral.

Now it's ringing again. And Lomond is running out of time to silence it…

From the bestselling author of The Bonnie Dead and The Long Isle, Andrew Raymond captures the voices of his beloved home city, and takes you into its hidden depths.

If you like writers like JD Kirk, Ian Rankin, and Val McDermid, this addictive thriller will have you gripped until its final pages.
