Denzil Meyrick worked as a police officer, distillery manager, freelance journalist, and company director. He is originally from Campbeltown in Argyll, but now lives with his wife Fiona on Loch Lomondside.

Join best-selling crime writer Denzil Meyrick as he discusses the seventh book in his thrilling D.C.I. Daley series, A Breath on Dying Embers. The luxury cruiser SS Great Britain, taking a high-powered group of businessmen and women on a tour of the British Isles, berths in Kinloch on the west coast of Scotland. One of the crew goes missing and the arrival of a face from the past sends Daley’s world into a tailspin. Is this his last throw of the dice?

FEEDBACK FROM PRESENTERS

“A great treat for authors every year. Delightful surroundings and very efficient organisation. A thoroughly worthy cause!”
Peter Snow

“I wanted to say, first of all, thank you so much for having me, and for looking after me brilliantly. I loved being at the IOWLF. It was also a joy to meet you and the rest of the team. Everything about the festival seemed to work beautifully – the location, the bookselling, the organisation, the technical side of things. I will be heartily recommending it to all my author friends!
Thanks again, and well done on such a fantastic festival”
Henry Hemming
