Set in the Glasgow World of Classical Music.

The members of the City of Glasgow Orchestra are preparing to peform but little do they know that they are set to be out played by the mysterious events happening backstage.

When George Millar, the orchestra leader, is brutally murdered in his dressing room, his colleagues are shocked. But the show must go on. Enter DCI Lorimer and psychologist Solomon Brightman to investigate.

What they uncover is a series of irrevocably tangled relationships between the orchestra members. Up until his death Millar had been involved in homosexual relationships with several other orchestra members and was well known for playing his lovers off against one another - but were controversial dalliances really enough to incite cold-blooded and calculated murder?

Shadows of Sounds sees the welcome return of Lorimer and Brightman, Alex Gray's lateral thinking double act, who takes the reader on a thrilling journey from the crescendos of musical excellence to the base notes of human envy.
