About this listen

Former soldier. Ex-copper. Current man on the edge.

Shunned by his old colleagues, and dividing his time between a dead-end job and the bottom of a whisky bottle, former Police Scotland detective superintendent Bob Hoon’s life is a mess.

Then an old face from Hoon’s Special Forces days turns up asking for help: His teenage daughter has been missing for months, the police have drawn a blank, and he needs the kind of help that only Hoon can provide.

And besides, Hoon owes him one.

From the Highlands of Scotland, to the mean streets of London, Hoon’s relentless hunt for the girl will see him make new friends and encounter old enemies. Enemies who know what happened to the girl. And to hundreds more like her.

But Hoon’s been given something that makes him dangerous, something he thought he’d long-since lost: a purpose.

He may be a disgraced ex-copper, a barely functioning alcoholic, and a borderline psychopath, but Bob Hoon still believes in justice.

And he’s just the foul-mouthed bastard to dish some out.

From JD Kirk’s DCI Logan series, Northwind is the first in a new series of action-packed thrillers for fans of Lee Child, James Patterson, and Mark Dawson.

Flawless. Addictive. Beware.

Outstanding performance, brilliant, witty writing that keeps you wanting more.. I started my JD Kirk journey on this one, finished this series and have circled back to the jack Logan series which has been on par with the level of awesomeness in this series. However you can’t go past a good “Hoonarism”

Brilliant!!

Fantastic, JD Kirk is a modern day literary marvel. Thank you JD for your hours of effort on your craft! (although worry about the mind that delivers such amazing dialog and plot conception. 😂)

The redemption of Bob Hoon

It’s hard to believe that the author could manage to redeem Bob Hoon, formerly a corrupt cop and still a man who can’t utter a sentence, no matter the context or company, without dropping several expletives into it. I never thought I’d find myself rather liking him, but such is the magic of fiction. In Northwind, Hoon is portrayed as an honourable if foul mouthed man, who puts himself in harms way repeatedly to help a friend.

The plot flies along, and the story is both hilarious and tragic. Angus King, as ever, is simply brilliant.
