In his latest outing, the follow-up to last year’s Fixed Odds, Robbie Munro defends an accused and his wife Joanna prosecutes, so they take different views of the law.

But now Joanna is being stalked by a witness in a critical case. When the stalker ends up dead, Robbie is charged with murder. His friends are more than willing to help but this time it might be his enemies he needs most.

Mr McIntyre is a partner in Scotland’s oldest law firm Russel + Aitken, specialising in criminal defence. He has been instructed in many interesting and high-profile cases over the years and now turns fact into fiction with his Robbie Munro legal thrillers. He is married with four sons.

Bad Debt hits shelves this October.
