Grant, Robert (b. 1979) is a Scottish-born thriller writer and former structural engineer who specialized in high-rise safety and access control systems. He studied civil engineering at Heriot-Watt University and worked across Europe on post-build audits before moving into investigative journalism covering urban development in Lisbon, Glasgow, and London. His fiction blends technical detail with psychological suspense and has been translated into eight languages. He lives in Bristol with his partner and a perpetually curious rescue greyhound, mentors young writers through a community arts charity, and collects antique padlocks he swears he won't try to pick.
