Publisher's Synopsis
#5 in the Best Defence Series
'Readers who have encountered Robbie Munro before will approach this latest book expecting fast-moving Tartan Noir... They'll not be disappointed!'
Undiscovered Scotland
McIntyre writes snappy prose and there are light-hearted nods to the hard-boiled classics of the genre.
The Herald
Desperate for cash, criminal defence lawyer Robbie Munro, finds himself ensnared in a web of deceit spun by master conman Victor Devlin. What is Devlin's connection with the case of two St Andrews' students charged with the murder of a local waitress?
Enter Suzie Lake, a former-university chum of Robbie's, now best-selling crime fiction author, who is especially interested in the St Andrews' murder and looking for some inside information. How can Robbie refuse the advances of the gorgeous Suzie, even if she threatens his pending nuptials? Is it merely coincidence that the more he tells Suzie, the more Robbie finds himself in a murky world of bribery, corruption and crime fiction publishing?
