Publisher's Summary
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.

Bob Hoon in the flesh
JD Kirk introduced us to the Inverness Detective team and led readers on a hunt for assorted killers, psychopaths, and nutters. Working alongside DCI Jack Logan, we briefly meet Bob Hoon, the ex-special forces phenomenon with the abuse and curse thesaurus bigger than The Highlands.
I’ll not ruin anyone encountering Hoon in the pages of the DCI Logan series with foreshadowing or plot releases, but he ends up after around Logan book 13 out of the Police and working at Tesco’s.
Then, things happen. Hoon erupts in all his (frequently bare-arsed) glory into a story containing back-story, pathos, violence and a group of truly vile criminals.
Read it and improve your vocabulary for next time you need to talk banking, tax, or promotion with anyone wearing a suit. And Angus King’s Hoon is as good as you would expect in his performance.
A great story and a truly magnificent leading character in Bob Hoon.

A great listen.
This book is not for those looking for niceties and romance! It's a story of damaged souls post combat, mate ship survival in the world they have returned to, revenge and tipping the scales against true evil all the while with a gritty dark vein of humour!How far would you go for a true friend?

Hilarious. Next please!
Laughed out loud all the way through.
I can't wait for the next one! Hoon is an inappropriate realist who simply doesn't give a shit. I loved it.

Great listen
I read the reviews before I purchased, about the excessive swearing and the unlovable irredeemable main character, but gave it a go anyway. So glad I did as the story is wonderfully written and read by a highly skilled narrator. Plus the main character, who swears a lot is totally lovable. Can’t wait to listen to the next book.
