Craig Robertson's headshot

Craig Robertson is the author of eleven novels, most set on the mean streets of contemporary Glasgow. A former journalist, Craig interviewed three UK Prime Ministers, was pilloried on breakfast television, beat Oprah Winfrey to a major scoop, spent time on Death Row in the USA and dispensed polio drops in the backstreets of India. He has been longlisted and shortlisted for the main UK crime fiction prizes on nine occasions. A Sunday Times and international bestseller, his latest novel is The Trials of Marjorie Crowe.

He is on the board of Bloody Scotland, Scotland’s premier crime writing festival, and is the festival director of Bute Noir. Three of his novels are currently in development for film and television.
