Scots journalist pens fictional sequel to true-crime book

Former Dundee journalist Sandy McGregor will see his second book hit the shelves next month - after penning a fictional sequel to his true-crime book.

In a rare move, Sandy, who retired as chief reporter of The Courier and Evening Telegraph earlier this year, has written Lawless, a fictional sequel to The Law Killers which tells the stories of murders in Dundee.
