A Rock and a Hard Place

DCI Logan Crime Thrillers, Book 21

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.

Logan is back better than ever

Banger of a storyline to help bring DCI Logan back from a tough experience last book. Love the evolution of the team, including wee Taggart! Great fun.

Murder mystery with a cast of entertaining characters

I always enjoy Logan and crew. The mysteries are not that intense but if you want to fall for a cast of characters you can’t get better than Kirk and King

One of the best

This was one of my favorites, and I have read them all. Some great characters, including just a little bit of Bob Hoon, some surprises, and a lot of insight into the members of the team.

Like visiting family!

Love Logan's character and Angus King's accent! Good to visit w the friends/characters again. lookin forward to the next one!

Great as always!

Great performance as always! Story was very on par to the other books which I love. I re read them all the time!
