DAVID MCGLONE

I’m David  McGlone, a Scottish writer based in London. I write novels and short stories that move between psychological crime, the unsettling, the absurd and the deeply human. Whatever the genre, I’m drawn to characters whose lives are more complicated than they first appear.

My DCI Marlin novels, Ashes and Bone, Deadly Intent and Written in Blood, follow Detective Chief Inspector Marlin and psychologist Dr Aldous “Al” Andrews through murder investigations that test their friendship as much as their judgment. Their story  will continue in Flowers of Evil, the fourth book I’m working on.

Elsewhere, The Photograph Album looks back over a marriage through the pictures a couple have kept; Bleed to Love Her enters a darker, more haunted world; and Undressed to Kill follows an unlikely private detective with a taste for life’s stranger mysteries. I’ve also written stories that make room for humour, horror and the unexpected. My upcoming collection, Mind Fullness, brings several of those darker stories together.

Please explore the books and get in touch if something here catches your interest.
