Chris Brookmyre
He may get frequently compared to notorious Floridian crime supremo Carl Hiaasen but Glaswegian Christopher Brookmyre is very much his own man. The creator of high-octane,deliciously brash thrillers usually featuring no-nonsense investigative journalist Jack Parlabane,Brookmyre is also an accomplished satirist,at home skewering political and institutional authority.
