Douglas Lindsay

Scottish Field once described Douglas Lindsay as “a master of comic crime.” Readers should note this is because he writes comedy crime novels, not because he murders people while dressed as a clown.

He is the author of over fifty novels. His first book became Coen Brothers-esque film comedy, THE LEGEND OF BARNEY THOMSON, starring Robert Carlyle, Emma Thompson and Ray Winstone.

His series include:

• The DS Hutton & DI Buchan Glasgow crime novels

• The classic Golden Age series Hilary Stamp Investigates

• Barney Thomson, nine comic novels and several novellas

• The New England private detective series The Vikström Papers

• Detective Inspector Westphall – ‘Establishes Lindsay as someone deserving to be spoken of as a master.’ Shots Magazine

He lives in Somerset, England
