Neil Broadfoot’s breakneck debut, Falling Fast, introduced Edinburgh investigative journalist Doug McGregor and his police contact, DS Susie Drummond. Widely praised by critics, crime fiction authors and readers alike, it was shortlisted for both the Dundee International Prize and the prestigious Deanston Scottish Crime Book of the Year Award, immediately establishing him as a fixture on the Tartan Noir scene.
Before writing fiction, Neil worked as a journalist for fifteen years at both national and local newspapers, covering some of the biggest stories of the day. A poacher turned gamekeeper, he moved into communications: providing media relations advice for a variety of organisations in the public and private sectors.
