After years behind bars, former drug kingpin Bosco Maximuke is back on the streets, insisting he’s turned over a new leaf, and determined to win back the trust of his daughter.

But when members of the criminal network that replaced him start turning up dead, suspicion falls squarely on Bosco. With old enemies closing in, and a trail of bodies stretching from Inverness to the most remote corners of the Highlands, one thing is clear - someone is settling scores.

And then Bosco does the unthinkable. He asks DCI Jack Logan for help.

Logan wants nothing to do with him. Their history is bloody, bitter, and far from buried. But complicating matters is the fact that Bosco’s teenage daughter, Olivia, now lives under Logan’s roof.

With pressure mounting and the line between justice and revenge growing ever thinner, Logan must navigate a case where nothing is as it seems, and where trusting the wrong person could cost him everything.

Because in the Highlands, the devil you know might just be the most dangerous of all…BETTER THE DEVIL is the 22nd book in the internationally bestselling DCI Jack Logan series, from multi-award-winning Scottish crime fiction author, JD Kirk.

I love the whole series of the Jack Logan detective novels. The combination of the excellent writing by JD Kirk and the equally excellent narration of Angus King is absolutely superb. I am blind and listen to Audiobooks every day. I have listened to thousands over the years and find myself waiting with baited breath for the next Jack Logan novel to drop. Well done to the writer and the narrator you are a fabulous combination. Keep up the good work(please).

The gritty storyline combined with rib tickling humour.

Having never listened to a JDKirk book before this one came as a real surprise. The writing style kept the story jogging along, keeping me interested from start to finish, and with some parts of it making me laugh out loud!
The narrator was brilliant! He read it with real gusto & really made the characters come alive. I would definitely recommend this production!

what a great book!

I love Angus king - he’s brilliant.
Another reviewer has said the voices are all wrong - I’m not sure what book they were listening to but it’s surely not this one. Angus’ performance is brilliant as usual & it sounds exactly like it should with all the characters & voices.

Storyline is heartbreaking in bits but also it’s a brilliant story & there’s some really laugh out loud moments. The little mermaid for one!

I’ve listened to this series over & over & still can’t wait for the next. Great job JD Kirk!

Angus is the best narrator

So thrilled to hear the latest Jack Logan story. The laugh out loud black humour threaded so cleverly throughout brings the characters to life and you feel like you know them all. The realistic story line pulls no punches however and the listener is immersed into the criminal underclass. Can't wait for the next one

The welcome return of Logan
