Summary

What if your worst enemy was your only hope?

When a 15-year-old girl fails to make it home after school, DI Heather Filson believes she’s dealing with just another teenage runaway.

The girl’s grandfather, a notorious Glasgow gangster, disagrees. Convinced one of his underworld enemies has grabbed her, he’s prepared to bathe the city in blood in order to bring his princess home.

But as the days pass and the evidence mounts, Heather starts to fear that they’re both wrong and that a brutal killer from the past has returned.

A killer who once stalked the streets of her hometown, preying on vulnerable young victims.

A killer that DI Heather Filson is uniquely familiar with....

Uncover the secrets of The One That Got Away in the first book in a brand-new Scottish crime fiction series by JD Kirk, author of the multimillion-selling DCI Jack Logan novels.

J.D.Kirk

Another great story, from my favourite author, The only negative was Angus King didn't narrate it. Cathleen done a good job but Angus does "shnecky's" voice better lol ...

Can’t wait for the next one.

Gripping until end.

Another great read from J D Kirk. Love the ‘Spin off’ books from the DCI Jack Logan series.

My first written review..."loved it" !
I have so enjoyed the Logan and Hoon books narrated by Angus King. Heather was a character that was hard to warm to, so wasn't sure a whole book, narrated by someone else about her would work..but I was wrong. Story and narrator had me gripped, looking forward to the next Logan, Hoon or Heather book.

Thoroughly enjoyable

I love DCI Logan and Bob Hoon as much as the next listener but this book is just as good, sadly lacking in the high humour of Logan and Hoon though, possibly due to Ms. McCarron's delivery, but the story is sound and I quite like Cathleen McCarron. It's a great start to what, I'm sure, will be a great new series.
I shall definitely be grabbing the next book.
I totally recommend it but only to people who will not be too disappointed about the lack of Angus King (yes, I know, I was too).

Thoroughly Enjoyable

As above I really enjoyed this book from start to finish and highly recommend you give it a go - kept you going right to the end of the book. Narration was also excellent in my opinion, I look forward to next book in the series with Officer Heather

I wasn't too sure about Heather Filson as a protagonist, biy she won me over. The narrator's really good, too!

Absolutely perfect

I’ve waited with some trepidation for this book as I love the Jack Logan series and didn’t want to be disappointed.Thanks to a brilliant author and great narration I’m hooked.I liked Heather after meeting her in previous books and it was great to get more of her back story.I’d like to see her working with Hoon as they have similar traits and hope this is the start of a very long series.
