Fort de sa carrière dans le système juridique écossais, cet auteur apporte une authenticité d'initié à la fiction policière. Ses récits tissent habilement des mystères complexes avec une profonde compréhension de la nature humaine et de ses motivations.

Au-delà des thrillers traditionnels, il crée également des récits uniques de 'faction', mêlant événements réels et complots d'assassinat fictifs, souvent inspirés par sa ville natale.
