He worked for some years as a fiction editor with various London publishing houses.[3][4][5] After living for many years in England and the United States, he moved to Shannon Harbour, Ireland. He died on 1 March 2013, four days after his 69th birthday. His novels Assassins & Victims and The Punctual Rape won Scottish Arts Council Awards. The Last Darkness and White Rage were nominated for the Prix du Polar. His quartet of Glasgow novels consists of The Bad Fire, The Last Darkness, White Rage, and Butcher. He also wrote a memoir titled All That Really Matters, retitled in the United States as I Hope You Have a Good Life. His work has mainly been influenced by R L Stevenson and he ascribes a certain 'dark aspect' of his writing to the opening scenes of Treasure Island. Among other influences he included Kafka, Fred Vargas, Kobo Abe and Camus. His books have been translated into French, German, Greek, Japanese, Italian, Hebrew and Polish. Bibliography
