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.

Gripping
J.D. Kirk does it again. Hoon is a larger than life character and I'm looking forward to the next book.

JD Kirk’s Northwind Hoon Fantastic!
I am a big fan of JD Kirk’s DCI Logan series and this spin off featuring the disgraced character Hoon is just a brilliant read and in my case listen with the narrator Angus King. It’s not often I listen to a book and continually laugh out loud but the writing is absolutely brilliant a clever storyline and Hoon well read the book you won’t be disappointed!

A good spin off
Not a bad spin off from the dci Logan series. Not a book for the faint hearted as plenty of gusto swearing. True to form from the dci Logan series with plenty of twists and turns but lacks the hidden quips that the Logan series has which made me laugh out loud. Thoroughly enjoyed it

Funny, exciting, brilliant lead character
By far the best audio book I’ve listened to yet (out of 29). The characters, the storyline and primarily the narrator (main character a cross between Brian Cox & Billy Connolly) had me laughing out loud throughout. Well worth a listen and can’t wait for another by the same author/narrator combination.

Pleasantly surprised
I wasn’t sure I would like this character but within a few chapters started to see his humour and swearing actually made him likeable. Plot twists which I didn’t see coming surprised me, as I’m someone who reads a lot of crime fiction.
I’m waiting for the next Hoon episode eagerly and in the meantime going to read other work by this author who was new to me.
I must have liked it very much as I don’t usually write reviews.

So sad the book ended. More please!!!
I was doubtful of the spin off from a series I loved so much but this book is an absolute 10 out of 10.
Hoon’s wit and personality are brought to life by the absolutely fantastic narrator with humour sitting alongside some really gritty action.
I cannot recommend this highly enough. I wish there were many more Bob Hoon books that I could line up for my next listen
