Douglas Skelton is a Scottish writer of crime fiction and non-fiction.
Biography[edit]
Skelton was born in Glasgow. Before turning to writing full-time, he had been a bank clerk, tax officer, shelf stacker, meat porter, taxi driver, reporter, investigator and editor. While his non-fiction charts the true life exploits of murderers, criminals and cause celebres, his fiction settings are invariably set in his home town of Glasgow or the windswept Scottish highlands.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][excessive citations]
