He recorded it in Tob above the bank in his grandfather’s old flat of 45 years, the charismatic poet-come-Mull-bank manager, ‘Bard of Mull’ Angus Macintyre, and asked authors to provide lyrics on a significant room to them that he then recorded in these significant rooms to him.
His new novel is the first in a new ‘Mull Mysteries’ Crime Series, When the Needle Drops, and features a return to Sergeant Ivor Punch from his Award-Winning debut ’The Letters of Ivor Punch’, set on Mull. The new book tells of a plane and pilot having gone missing off the island and Punch is brought back from a diet of whisky and The Faces on vinyl to investigate the mystery.
