Denzil Meyrick worked as a police officer, distillery manager, freelance journalist, and company director. He is originally from Campbeltown in Argyll, but now lives with his wife Fiona on Loch Lomondside.
'Daley is a character complete with depths, currents and sudden
changes of the Atlantic Ocean that crashes against Kinloch's
harbour walls. The remote peninsula and the claustrophobic nature
of small-town life are perfectly painted too. Fans of the series
will thoroughly appreciate another stint in Daley's company, and
new readers will also find much to enjoy'
*Scotland on Sunday*
What distinguishes Meyrick from other tartan noir authors is his
humour and the depth of his interest in local issues...though he
delivers fine plotting and gore in abundance, he really comes into
his own describing the back stories of the Kinloch locals

the evocative Scots dialect which peppers the dialogue, adding an
element of charm to an otherwise dark storyline’

and full of jolts’
