Robbie Morrison is the author of the Inspector Jimmy Dreghorn crime thrillers, set in 1930s Glasgow. Born in Helensburgh, brought up in Linwood and Houston, he lived for many years in Glasgow – at one point across the road from the very police station in which those characters are based. On both sides, his connection to shipbuilding in Glasgow and along the River Clyde stretches back over four generations and the textured history of the city and its people is a source of inspiration for the books. One of the most respected writers in the UK comic-book industry, he sold his first script to Dundee publishers DC Thomson at the age of twenty-three. He has scripted iconic characters such as Batman, Doctor Who and Judge Dredd, as well as his own creation Nikolai Dante, serialized for over 15 years in cult science-fiction comic 2000AD and collected as graphic novels. He is also the writer of the graphic novels Drowntown and White Death. Edge of the Grave, the first Jimmy Dreghorn novel, won the Bloody Scotland Debut Crime Novel of the Year, was shortlisted for the McIlvanney Prize, the Crime Writers’ Association Historical Dagger and the Historical Writers’ Association Debut Crown, and was Waterstones Book of the Month (Scotland) in September 2021. Cast a Cold Eye, the follow-up, was shortlisted for the McIlvanney Prize and was Waterstones Book of the Month in Scotland for April ‘24.
