Douglas Skelton, shortlisted for Scottish Crime Book of the Year 2016 and longlisted for the McIlvanney Prize in 2019, is a writer who specialises in the darker side of things: he’s a former journalist who published eleven true crime books before turning to crime fiction. His thrillers and detective novels began with the hugely successful series of Davie McCall thrillers and continued with the Dominic Queste series: The Dead Don’t Boogie and Tag – You’re Dead. He has since written the fast-paced standalone New York City mob thriller The Janus Run and several titles in the popular Rebecca Connolly series.
