Good News, Bad News
A page-turner of the highest quality. -Alex Norton Good news: Robbie’s client has won the lottery and wants Robbie to find her husband Freddy. Bad news: Freddy is in hiding, having swindled local hard man Jake Turpie. Can Robbie fix things so it’s all good news from now on? About the Robbie Munro legal thrillers Forever flying by the seat of his pants, defence lawyer Robbie Munro juggles a host of difficult clients, rubs shoulders with criminal acquaintances and battles the legal system, all while trying to keep his family afloat. ‘A deft slice of Caledonian crime... rings viscerally true, thanks no doubt to McIntyre's lifelong experience in criminal law.’ -The Times

Bogle’s other compositions about the First World War give a voice to the voiceless, prominence to the forgotten and personality to the anonymous as they interrogate the human experience, celebrate its spirit and empathise with its suffering.
