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.

Hoon is the man

So glad Hoon got his own books. He was one of the standout characters in a series full of brilliant characters

This story was brilliant. Enjoyed every moment of it. Well written and well performed just like the Logan stories by Angus King. Loved the Hoonisms and really looking forward to the next in the series

Wow! Such an exciting listen!

I loathed Hoon when I first encountered him in the DCI Logan books, but think he is amazing now.
What a fabulously flawed but honest character he is with a strong moral compass. Who knew?!
I laughed out loud so many times whilst I was listening, my husband kept asking me what I was laughing at.
I am so looking forward to the next one.
The narration is brilliant and helps build my mental picture of Bob Hoon.
Thank you for an amazing book!

Brilliant! just brilliant!

Got into this straight away! Thanks to a very long journey to Sheffield and back - did it in one hit! Loved Hoon's character brought to life so believably by Angus King! Just loved it and cant wait for more! Has to be Angus narrating though!
Very aware this is a terrible review but honestly just loved it and don't know what else to say!

Creative swearing.

I like that ex DS Hoon has been given a chance to shine in his own storyline. This is an engaging listen that's well performed.
