Synopsis

#3 in the acclaimed Best Defence/Robbie Munro Series

' A new take on tartan noir.’ The Scotsman

Scotland’s favourite criminal defence lawyer, Robbie Munro, is back and under pressure to find a missing child, defend a murdering drug-dealer and save the career of a child-pornography-possessing local doctor.

Add to that the antics of his badly-behaving ex-cop dad, the re-kindling of an old flame and a run-in with Scotland’s Justice Secretary and you’ll discover why it is that, sometimes, a lawyer has to resort to Sharp Practice.

Sharp Practice is the third in a series of smart, fast-moving, crime novels by Scottish criminal defence lawyer, William McIntyre, featuring an engagingly head-strong protagonist and exploiting the kind of authentic court-room, prison and procedural details that stem from years of first-hand experience. The action is centred around the Royal Burgh of Linlithgow in West Lothian and roams over the Larger Central Belt of Scotland.

About the Author

William McIntyre is a lawyer involved in criminal defence work for so long that he can remember when the Scots Criminal Justice System was regarded as the best in the world; the days when it was "better that ten guilty men go free than one innocent man be convicted" before the Scottish Government decided that it didn't really matter who was convicted so long as the newspapers were happy and it didn't cost much. The Best Defence Series of legal thrillers is a fictional account of the trials and tribulations of defence lawyer, Robbie Munro, set in William's home town of Linlithgow in Central Scotland and loosely based on some of the characters and unusual cases he has come across over many years in practice.
