About this listen

DCI Jack Logan is back!

When washed-up 80s rock legend Johnny Freestone is found dead in a cave off Scotland's North Coast 500 tourist route, it looks like a tragic accident–another celebrity lost to a reckless lifestyle.

But Police Scotland detective–and secret Freestone fan–Jack Logan isn’t convinced that the star's death was an accident. As Logan delves into Johnny's final days, he uncovers a trail of bitter rivalries, broken promises, and a comeback tour that wasn’t quite what it seemed.

With the Highlands’ rugged backdrop as the stage, Logan must unravel a web of secrets and lies that entangles everyone from music studios to old flames, and find out who wanted the self-styled 'voice of a generation' silenced for good.

Somewhere between a rock and a hard place, the truth waits to be unearthed...

A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE is the 21st book in the multi-million selling DCI Jack Logan series, and the perfect jumping on point for new audiences wanting to find out what all the fuss is about.

Brilliant

I’d been waiting for this book for what felt like ages and It didn’t disappoint. It was great to have Jack and Co back again. They’re like family. The story was great and had me guessing “whodunnit”and then changing my mind again for most of the book. JD/Barry is a master at his work. His writing was exceptional as usual.

Intense, sad and so very funny. I loved that Hoon made an appearance and he was as crass and rude as ever!! I love him.

Angus King and his narration was pure brilliance as ever. He really is the best in the business. I couldn’t imagine listening to anyone else narrate the Logan and Hoon series.

All in all this book was brilliant and I loved every chapter. I’m so sad that I finished it tho. The worst thing about this series is that it has to end. A full 5 stars from me as always!!

So glad Jack and Co are back

Words can’t express how much I love these characters. The world is a pretty scary place right now, but as long as Mr Kirk and Mr King and have another audio treat on the way then I have something to look forward to. Keep them coming please! Another bit of joy from the Loganverse.
