About this listen

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.

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 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!
