William McIntyre, now retired after a long career as a Scots lawyer specialising in criminal defence, brings his wealth of courtroom experience to the world of fiction. Having been involved in many fascinating and high-profile cases, William skilfully transforms fact into fiction through his acclaimed legal thrillers, The Best Defence Series. These novels feature the sharp-witted defence lawyer Robbie Munro, offering readers an authentic glimpse into the quirks and complexities of the Scots criminal justice system. Renowned for their accuracy in law and procedure, the books have been praised by legal professionals on both sides of the Bar. Whether enjoyed as stand-alone stories or read as part of the series, they capture Robbie's candid, often sardonic perspective, making them a standout contribution to the genre. THE BEST DEFENCE/ROBBIE MUNRO SERIES: Relatively Guilty Duty Man Sharp Practice Killer Contract Crime Fiction Last Will Present Tense Good News Bad News Stitch Up Fixed Odds Bad Debt Best Defence How Come? No Problem Based in Scotland and drawing on William's many years as a criminal defence lawyer, there is a rich vein of dry-humour running through the series, which he describes as an antidote to crime fiction that features maverick cops chasing a serial killers, and in it he emphasises that justice is not only about convicting the guilty, but also about acquitting the innocent. William writes from the heart and from his own experiences. Robbie Munro, is very much a real life lawyer, juggling a host of cases, dealing with awkward clients and battling an at times Kafkaesque legal system, all while trying to retain some form of personal life. Notwithstanding their relatively light-hearted approach, the books deal with some very serious issues, each story raising an interesting philosophical or ethical issue. Though the plots are often complex, they are never confusing such is William's deftness of touch. The books, which are stand alone or can be read in series, have been well received by many fellow professionals, on both sides of the Bar, due to their accuracy in law and procedure and Robbie's frank, if sardonic, view on the idiosyncrasies of the Scots criminal justice system. William is married with four sons.
