30 years ago about now I was starting a new job in Aberdeen up on the North East Coast of Scotland. I was living away from my wife, in digs and pretty bored. I had a notepad and a pen, no TV just a radio, and a bottle of scotch. I sat down and began writing about a down at heel PI in a similar place in Glasgow. Derek Adams, my Midnight Eye character, was born that night, and so was the obsession that quickly took over my life.

30 years.
Blimey!
