William H.S. McIntyre writes what he knows. A practicing solicitor in Scotland, he created Robbie Munro as a fictional version of the kind of defense lawyer who works the unglamorous end of the criminal justice system. Robbie handles the cases that don’t make headlines: minor assaults, petty fraud, and the occasional murder. The books are as much about the daily grind of Scottish legal practice as they are about crime.

McIntyre’s writing is dry and funny in a distinctly Scottish way. The Robbie Munro series has run for 13 books since 2011, with titles that double as legal jargon (Sharp Practice, Killer Contract, Fixed Odds). He’s also written two standalone novels, a short story collection, and two non-fiction books, including a whisky guide and a tongue-in-cheek writing advice book called How To Not Get Published.
