A legal thriller of an unaccounted-for body, a missing woman tied to a powerful family, and a case echoing a seventeenth-century witch trial.

Some questions don’t have good answers. This one has too many.

When a funeral director discovers an unaccounted‑for body in her basement, she turns to Robbie Munro for help making it disappear.

At the same time, a wealthy corporate raider wants Robbie to find his missing stepdaughter.

It doesn’t take long for Robbie to realise they may be asking about the same person.

As the case unfolds, unsettling links emerge between the present day and a centuries‑old witch trial. The parallels are hard to ignore. The timing is worse.

With his father’s new girlfriend complicating matters and the facts refusing to line up, Robbie is left trying to piece together something that shouldn’t fit.

Because this time, it’s not just the case that’s strange.

It’s how far back it reaches.

How Come? is Book 13 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.
