## Description

As the bell tolls, the hunt for a killer begins... A reverend is found dead on the altar of St Magnus cathedral in Orkney, his white robes stained in blood. Every door into the building is locked - the keys are all still inside - so how was the murder committed? Detective Inspector Jack McNaughton is assigned to the case. He recently moved with his young family back to the Orkney islands after a botched Edinburgh police operation, so this is his chance to prove that he still has what it takes to catch a killer. In a community where everyone knows each other’s business, it isn’t long before rumour begins to spread. And when another body turns up, Jack finds himself at the centre of a nightmare, unlike anything he’s faced before. Jack's search for answers takes him on a dark journey into his own troubled past. And he soon begins to realise that if he can't solve this mystery soon, he'll lose everything - including the people he loves the most... ‘Gritty, gripping and packed with twists, Murder in the Cathedral is a genuine page-turner. Great characters, relentless suspense and a story that keeps you guessing right to the end. I couldn’t put it down.’ Simon McCleave Murder in the Cathedral is the first book in the new Lost Orkney series of crime thrillers from the Amazon #1 multi-million selling crime writer, J M Dalgliesh, the author of the Hidden Norfolk and Misty Isle books.
