A fast-paced Scottish legal thriller featuring a defence lawyer, a missing conman, and a case where helping a client could get someone killed.

Good news is hard to come by. Bad news is never far behind.

When Robbie Munro’s client wins the lottery, she has one final wish: find her estranged husband and bring him home.

There’s just one problem.

Freddy isn’t missing. He’s hiding.

A career conman on the run after swindling a dangerous man, Freddy has made a powerful enemy who isn’t in a forgiving mood. Bringing him back to Scotland means delivering him straight into the wrong hands.

As Robbie tracks Freddy across Europe, a simple request turns into a dangerous balancing act between loyalty, justice, and survival.

Because sometimes doing the right thing comes at a cost.

And this time, Robbie might not be the one who pays it.

Good News Bad News is Book 8 in the Robbie Munro Legal Thriller series. Perfect for readers who love John Grisham, Scott Turow, and Michael Connelly.

REVIEWS Icon
‘A page turner of the highest quality’ Alex Norton (Taggart)
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.
