Product Information

And Barry confesses he does get recognised on the streets of his hometown, which leads to a problem…

I got a behind the scenes tour – they let me into all the areas people don’t get to see generally. I was counting all the cameras and all that stuff. So if you ever need to hold the Eastgate Centre hostage, I’m your man! I’ve got all the inside info now.” Soon enough, he realized just how hard it was to break into the space and decided to opt for much smaller low-budget screenplays.Over the course of the series, we get to understand Hoon better as despite being a larger-than-life foul-mouthed, a hard-nut, action man, beneath all he is a loyal, caring, and true friend. Hoon is over the top, foul mothed, and eager to use violence as a blunt instrument to find out what he needs to know. He is not above manipulating people. But after his quest to recover his friend’s daughter, a friend who he owes a lot, he now knows about The Loop and though he might not be able to get them all, he is determined to make a serious dent in their operation. But in this story he is kidnapped, beat up, chased all over the country, all because of a stupid ostrich. But as hoon prepares to make a last stand reminiscent of Skyfall, he turns to one of the few people he ever really looked up to. And even pulls in a few surprising allies. Over the years, Hoon has made a ton of enemies but he is more interested in taking on “The Loop” and burning it to the ground. There are many people that would love to see his head on a spike but he was never one to ever run from a fight. With so much potential for bloodshed, the police gathering outside the centre can only wait, watch, and try to negotiate with the terrorists within. The girl had been taken by a group that goes by the name “The Loop.” They are a heartless cabal that usually kidnaps girls and makes them addicts before forcing them into prostitution.

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. He is now one of the most popular fiction authors in the world with millions of copies of his novels sold. Over this time, he has grown a huge legion of fans from across the globe delighted with his Highlander series of novels. 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 would decide to become an author at age nine when he finished working on a Roald Dahl project in class. It was this project that showed him that writing was something that he could do professionally. I said before that the character of Hoon is over the top. He exemplifies the stereotypes taken to an extreme. But in this story we see even more of his redeeming characteristics. We find out a fair bit more about his past. This story has no preface or afterward by Kirk, but Kirk in the afterword of the first Hoon novel informed us that: People stop me sometimes. It’s lovely but I’m really bad at taking compliments, I think it’s a Scottish thing – we’re so used to taking the piss out of each other. When someone offers you a sincere compliment, you don’t know what to do! He is a former police officer and former soldier and is currently a man on the edge. He divided his time between a whisky bottle and a dead-end job and is shunned by colleagues.

Outgunned, outnumbered, and on unfamiliar territory, his only chance of surviving is to head to the north of the Highlands to the land he knows best. Even at a very young age, he was a huge fan of violence and gore just like he would be as an adult. Caroline their daughter that had gone missing, it seems that Hoon has pissed off some dangerous people.When I first introduced the then Detective Superintendent Bob Hoon in my DCI Logan crime fiction series, he was so foul-mouthed and unpleasant as to feel almost irredeemable. A larger than life bully with a penchant for bad language, Hoon was a deliberately over the top caricature—a barely human monster who existed largely to make the lives of the other characters that bit more difficult. And his childhood visits from Fort William to the Eastgate Centre at Christmas time have also played their part. Kirk began writing his noir fiction in 2019 and two years after launching the “DCI Logan Crime Thriller” series, he penned “Northwind,” the first of the “Robert Hoon Thriller” series.

My worry is that I have quite a short attention span, so I like doing other things as well, though people love Logan so I’ll keep doing that for as long as I can.” He has become the author known for writing novels with gruesome deaths, twisty plots, and laugh-out-loud humor. He is one of the very few authors from Scotland to ever make the shortlist for the Kindle Storyteller prize. He is a larger-than-life unpleasant and foul-mouthed bully who seems like something of a caricature. Nonetheless, he is a man that does get the job done which results in a love-hate relationship with his superiors. Kirk says that he had made up his mind to become a writer at the age of nine. He had completed a class assignment on author Roald Dahl and realized for the first time that writing can also help people earn money. And as Kirk loved both money and writing, it seemed like he had found his perfect match. Subsequently, Kirk attempted to write and publish his first piece at the age of 11 when he submitted a letter in a Batman comic. Though he did not receive any money for his effort, it was enough for him to get his name printed as a writer and thereby cemented his ambition. And over the course of the next thirty years, Kirk successfully published more than a hundred novels under different pen names. He also wrote several animation scripts, comics, and also a few screenplays of feature-length films. Northwind” the first novel of the “Robert Hoon Thrillers” series introduces our protagonist Detective Superintendent Robert Hoon.JD Kirk’s third novel of the “Robert Hoon Thrillers” series is “Westward.” The lead protagonist Robert Hoon may have crossed the wrong people this time around and this may just be the end of him.
