The One That Got Away

A DI Heather Filson Novel

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.

How does he do it?

JD Kirk took one of the most hated characters from the DCI Logan series and turned her into my new favorite DI. Cathleen McCarron delivers a superb performance. Looking forward to the next installment!

Love the JD Kirk Universe

Heather is a complicated character that makes her a realistic heroine of this story. It keeps you guessing, had the humor you’d expect, and included characters you can love. I am hoping for more of Heather and Ace.

Didn't see that coming!!

I was fully prepared dislike this narrator before she spoke one word, but I was pleasantly surprised. Angus will always be my favorite, but she did "Officer" Fillson (sp?) justice. An excellent story all the way around and I was taken very much by surprise at the ending. Looking forward to more in this series!!

Worthy New Offering

Those of us who met DI Filson in the DCI Login series were understandably worried about her leading her own series. She was painted in such unflattering light in those offerings, that we wondered if we would care enough about her to become addicted to this series as well. Rest Assured. In this novel she is fully exposed, failings and all, and we love her the more for it. JD Kirk is masterful. As with Bob Hoon, who first appears to us as a foul mouthed bully, but steals our hearts in his own series.

And we were worried about missing Angus King? (Yes. Yes, We were) But Cathleen MsCarron is perfection in this role.

Highly Recommend. Worth your credit and your time. If you are new to JD Kirk, you can trust this is a stand alone series. While some familiar faces make an appearance or are referenced, you do not need that background to enjoy this listen.

The story got me in. I really enjoyed enjoyed listening. J.D. Kirk writes really good books.

I really enjoyed the narrator. It was very well read easy to listen to the narration was excellent.
