Callum Dalziel is a new author in the genre often referred to as "Tartan Noir". He has lived in Inverclyde all his life, and felt that the area deserved to be featured in a Scottish crime novel. The themes in the SCOTT'S LAW series are hard-hitting and certainly not for readers under-18.
Author's Note:
Under "poetic license" I have taken some liberties with the geography and some urban features of Inverclyde. Some places are altered, re-named, or invented to suit the narrative. "My" Police Scotland is not intended to represent the procedures or personnel of the actual entity; nor are the characters herein in anyway representative of the good people of Inverclyde.

On page 51, para. 3, page line 16, the phrase should read '... he missed the orderly regime ...' instead of 'regimen.'
