A high-profile legal thriller of a celebrity murder trial, ever changing evidence, and a defence built on unreliable testimony.

Honesty is the best policy. It’s not always the best defence.

When the wife of a football superstar is charged with murder, Robbie Munro is hired to defend her.

There’s just one problem.

Her story keeps changing.

As the evidence mounts, every new detail makes things worse. What should be a clear defence turns into a shifting narrative that Robbie can’t fully trust.

At the same time, his brother Malky lands in trouble of his own, dragging Robbie into a very public fight to save his career.

Two clients. Two crises. Both convinced they know best.

But in court, there’s only one strategy that matters.

And Robbie’s the one who has to choose it.

Best Defence is Book 12 in the Robbie Munro Legal Thriller series. Perfect for readers who love John Grisham, Scott Turow, and Michael Connelly.

‘Crime with an edge of dark humour’ Tommy Flanagan
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.
