David Weir comes from Edinburgh and was a newspaper reporter, feature writer and film critic in Scotland and England for a decade before getting a job for ‘a couple of years’ at the House of Commons. Fast forward a few decades and he has worked in all its procedural offices and managed Select Committees including Treasury, Home Affairs and Standards. As he steps away from his parliamentary role, David is now at liberty to draw upon the experience of a ring-side seat in the Chamber of the House of Commons and the back-stairs knowledge of an invisible servant. The Honourable Member for Murder is his first novel.
