AUTHOR
Robert A. Clark.
Robert A. Clark writes crime fiction set in the rain-soaked closes and concrete arteries of modern Scotland. Just Stop Killing is his debut novel, a procedural thriller carved from the real failures of the smart motorway programme and the quiet rage of people who watched the paperwork pile up.
When he isn’t writing, he is most likely walking the Clyde, listening to police-radio scanners, or arguing with a kettle. He lives in Glasgow.

Reviews
“Justice failed them first. Now
someone is enforcing it.”
A wickedly funny, brutally observed debut. Clark writes Glasgow the way Rankin writes Edinburgh, with grit under the fingernails and a smile in the dark.
Tartan Noir Review
Terry Lomax is the detective Scottish crime fiction has been waiting for. Cynical, hip-creaking, and almost too clever for his own good.
