Career
Before embarking on a writing career, McDowall was a university teacher and researcher.
He has written seven novels in his Crowby series, featuring the present-day investigations of Inspector Jacobson and his team of provincial police detectives. The Crowby novels broadly follow the conventions of the police procedural, but they are distinguished by an unusual narrative emphasis on the point of view of their non-police protagonists.
McDowall’s books are frequently concerned with controversial social and political themes.
Since 2007, his books, in translation, have also achieved success in Germany.
McDowall's novels are chiefly located in the English Midlands.
