<div><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">His character was once The Scotsman's top reporter until he drank himself out of a job. Now manages to get involved with some bad murders. What horrified me was the way in his stories that very respectable Edinburgh housing estates such as Sighthill in our days have deteriorated into lawless, drug soaked, hell holes.</font></div>
<div><br><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Stuart Macbride has written at least six stories about DI McRae of Aberdeen aw fu'o' sweery wurds tae.<br>First is "Cold Granite" about a serial child murderer. Second, "Dying Light", involves serial prostitute murders.</font></div>
