A high-stakes Scottish legal thriller featuring a defence lawyer, a murder charge, and a trial where the accused knows the system too well.

This time, Robbie’s not defending the accused. He is the accused.

When Robbie Munro’s wife is stalked by a witness in one of her cases, Robbie steps in to deal with it.

Then the stalker turns up dead.

And Robbie is charged with murder.

As the case builds against him, his friends rally to help. Alibis are created. Stories are adjusted. Lines are crossed. All in the name of keeping him out of prison.

But Robbie knows exactly how this works.

And the more his friends try to save him, the worse it starts to look.

Because this time, the only people who might tell the truth…

Are the ones who want him convicted.

Bad Debt is Book 11 in the Robbie Munro Legal Thriller series. Perfect for readers who love John Grisham, Scott Turow, and Michael Connelly.

‘A cracking crime novel’ Scottish Field
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.
