New Best Defence novel Stitch Up out this month

In the ninth book in the tartan noir series, Stitch Up, everything is coming up roses for Robbie Munro, newly married and living in the country with wife and child.

That is until his wife takes up employment abroad just as old flame, Jill Green, asks him to investigate the unexplained death of her partner. Suspecting foul play, Jill insists Robbie turns poacher to gamekeeper and does whatever it takes to find the killer – with no expense spared.

Another killer on the loose is child-murderer Ricky Hertz, whose twenty-year-old conviction is under scrutiny. Was the evidence at his trial fabricated? Suspicion falls on Robbie’s father who now faces a criminal prosecution. The only way to prove ex-Police Sergeant Alex Munro’s innocence is for Robbie to show there was no miscarriage of justice.
