A dark Scottish legal thriller featuring a defence lawyer caught between violent crime, political power, and a case that refuses to stay contained.

If there were no bad people, there’d be no good lawyers.

A missing baby. A doctor facing ruin. A drug dealer accused of murder.

Defence lawyer Robbie Munro is dragged into all three and quickly realises that everything is not quite what it seems.

As Robbie pushes for answers, evidence vanishes, stories shift, and cases that should have nothing in common start to overlap. Soon he is drawn into a net of deceit that reaches far beyond the courtroom. And as it tightens, it’s clear events are being steered from the shadows.  

With his ex-cop father causing chaos, an old flame back in his life, and pressure mounting from every direction, Robbie is forced to make a call: protect himself or keep digging.

Because this time, the truth isn’t just hard to prove—it’s dangerous to uncover.

Sharp Practice is Book 3 in the Robbie Munro Legal Thriller series. Perfect for readers who love John Grisham, Scott Turow, and Michael Connelly.

‘Perfectly blends humour and investigation’ Publishers Weekly
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.
