Allan Martin writes crime fiction set in distinctive locations. His main series, Inspector Angus Blue, follows a Scottish police detective through cases set on the islands and in the towns of western Scotland. Starting with The Peat Dead in 2019, the series has grown to seven books, with The Dead of Mull being the most recent entry in 2025. The titles reflect the Scottish geography that shapes each investigation.
Martin also writes the DCI Juri Hallmets Thrillers, which move the action to Estonia. Death in Tallinn (2020) and Winter Blood (2022) follow a detective working cases in the Baltic capital. His short story collection, Tales Murderous and Mysterious (2022), gathers his shorter crime fiction. Martin’s work is notable for its strong sense of place, whether that is the Scottish Highlands or the streets of Tallinn.
