"Craig," says Mr Tytler, "appears to have been a man of a modest and retiring disposition, averse to any interference in the political intrigues of the times, devoted to his profession, and fond of that relaxation from the severer labours of the bar, which is to be found in a taste for classical literature.
Craig was, in 1604, one of the commissioners on the part of Scotland, who, by the king’s desire, met others on the part of England, for the purpose of considering the possibility of a union between the two countries.
Craig was, in the latter part of his life, advocate for the church, and under that character was employed at the famous trial of the six ministers in 1606, on a charge of treason for keeping a general assembly at Aberdeen.
CraigThomas' recent novels, Playing With Cobras and A Wild Justice, had moved the thriller into the spheres of political corruption in India and the growing influence of the Russian Mafia.
CraigThomas is a writer at the peak of his powers.
Thomas was drawn to the thriller genre because of its "evident sense of tension and danger, the deliberate structure of the plots, and perhaps the emphatic moral framework - just as many writers of detective fiction are drawn to the sense of justice their books demonstrate towards good and evil.
