CAMPBELL ARMSTRONG was born in Glasgow. He obtained a BA in Philosophy from the University of Sussex before moving to the U.S. where he taught creative writing in New York and Arizona rather reluctantly. He turned to writing fiction full-time in 1978 and he has since written numerous bestsellers including the world renowned Jig series. After twenty years living in the U.S. he moved to Ireland where he still lives today. Butcher is the fourth in the hugely successful series set in Glasgow and featuring the imnimitable Jewish Detective Lou Perlman, and follows from Bad Fire, The Last Darkness and White Rage. Campbell has also written other works including two plays, the novelisations of Raiders of the Lost Arc and Brian de Palma's Dressed to Kill, and a memoir All That Really Matters.
