Scott Hunter writes crime fiction anchored by his detective character Brendan Moran, a world-weary Irish DCI whose cases range from cold murders to serial killings. The series began with Black December in 2011 and has grown to 11 books, building a loyal readership through consistent, atmospheric storytelling.
Beyond crime fiction, Hunter has written historical fiction (The Serpent and the Slave), children’s fantasy (the Power of the Stones books), and a standalone thriller (The Trespass). His background as a musician — he has recorded with Jethro Tull and performed with Mungo Jerry — adds an unusual dimension to his creative life.
