Present Tense

W. H. S. McIntyre

Criminal lawyer Robbie Munro is back home, living with his widowed, ex-policeman dad and his new found daughter, Tina. Life at the practice isn’t going well, neither is the love life he regularly confesses to his junior, Joanna. Then again, on the subject of Joanna, Robbie may be the last to know…When one of his more dubious clients leaves a mysterious box for him to look after, and a helicopter comes down with two fatalities, events take a much more sinister turn, and all of this is complicated by the rape case he has to defend.

W. H. S. McIntyre

William MacIntyre is a highly experienced criminal lawyer whose knowledge adds a level of authenticity to the tension and humour of the Best Defence novels.
