C.S. Robertson
A former journalist, Craig Robertson interviewed three Prime Ministers, reported on major stories including 9/11, Dunblane, the Omagh bombing and the disappearance of Madeleine McCann. He was pilloried on breakfast television, beat Oprah Winfrey to a major scoop, spent time on Death Row in the USA and dispensed polio drops in the backstreets of India.
He is the author of eleven novels, most set on the mean and gentrified streets of contemporary Glasgow/
He was shortlisted for the CWA John Creasey Dagger for his debut Random, has twice been longlisted for the Theakston’s Old Peculiar Crime Novel of the Year, been longlisted three times and once shortlisted for the McIlvanney Prize for Scottish Crime Novel of the Year, and longlisted for the CWA Steel Dagger. He hasn’t won anything but he’s okay with that. Sort of.
Craig is a director of the Bloody Scotland crime writing festival and runs the Bute Noir festival in Rothesay. He’s a Sunday Times bestseller and an international bestseller. His latest novel is The Trials of Marjorie Crowe published under C.S. Robertson.
