Cop It Write: The Crime Writer's Handbook
It's all here, laid out in detail with real-life case studies to show you how it actually works - not the text book version, not the way the DI wants it done, but how real detectives investigate. The only way to get the procedures, the tactics, the lingo and the tone right, is to get the inside scoop - COP IT WRITE to give your crime writing the edge. From car chases and shootings to private investigators and covert ops, it's all here.
Any crime writer will want to read this. Angus McLean has over 30 years' experience at the coalface of criminal investigations, finally hard-boiled down into one killer handbook.

Quick Bio
I'm a former Police detective, current private investigator, a writer, and a fan of crime fiction.
I grew up watching the TV private eye and cop shows of the 80's, rocking to the music of the 80's and reading classic crime and action stories-some of these were written in the 80's. Did I mention the 80's rocked?
I write across various genres - crime, action thrillers, espionage and middle grade mysteries. My non-fiction book Cop It Write: The Crime Writer's Handbook is a never-seen-before look behind the scenes of detective and PI work which helps scribes give their writing some authenticity.
I write as much as I can, but not nearly enough; time is never a friend for part-time authors.
