Publisher's Summary

When a body is discovered at a popular Highland landmark, it seems like just another day on the job for DCI Jack Logan and his team.

Except this body is missing a very vital component, and given its location - The Well of Seven Heads - it seems like someone is trying to send a message. But why? And to whom?

With pressure mounting from his superiors, 600 teenagers baying for blood, and the press sniffing around for a scandal, the only chance Jack has of cracking his latest case is if he finds a way to keep the heid, while all around are losing theirs.

Ahead of the Game is the 10th book from best-selling Scottish crime author, JD Kirk, and is perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Stuart Macbride, and Val McDermid.

JD Kirk’s best so far

I cannot get enough of DCI Logan! The best crime series I have read. The Character development, story, mystery but especially the humour make this series my favourite of all time. Crime is my go to genre however it’s often so serious and morose which can leave you a little deflated and exhausted . JD Kirk writes with balance which has you laughing out loud one minute and tearing up the next. The narration is on point and Angus King really understands the characters while expertly interpreting the writing through his narration. Every one of these novels leaves me wanting more and it’s tough to wait for the next! Totally binge worthy. Hurry up and write the next one JD!

The best one yet!!

The story, the character development, the jokes, the comradely - it all just felt like it went up another level in this book. And of course it wouldn’t be as good without Angus’ performance! I laughed so many times and almost cried as well. Thank you!

Another corker of a story

I’m addicted to this series and genuinely feel like to personally know the characters. This one probably has the most difficult plot to guess and kept me wondering right to the end.
Angus King is sensational at narrating the series and really brings them all to life. Can’t wait for the next one and also very excited about he spin-off series ( PLEASE be a series) about Bob Hoon!

Best yet! Funny!

I am often laughing out loud while listening to these books. Character progression is brilliant. Bob Hune is hilarious. Getting the next book ready right now! Will be sad to finish the series

Brilliant as usual 😀

Can't get enough of these books! It's easy too sometimes to forget it's the same voice for every character 🤔 and absolutely love the whole team...this author and narrator are the perfect combination; wonder if the narrator ever gets hoarse after Hoon has a rant lol...anyway, onto the next mad and hilarious murder! 😈🤣

Wow what a twist!

Honestly I love Tyler and Hoon. I laughed a lot in the book! It's book 10 in the series and I couldn't stop listening. An unexpected ending to this latest case. Thanks to Angus King who narrates these books.

I love this series.

Lots of twists and turns. Angus is a great narrator for this series, however he has the worst Australian and South African accents but they do make me smile.
