J.D. Kirk

Po posledním případu zůstaly bývalému detektivu šéfinspektorovi Jacku Loganovi a jeho kolegům a přátelům šrámy na těle i na duši a Jacka zmáhá pocit viny. Uchýlí se do dobrovolného exilu na řídce osídleném ostrově v naději, že svěží vzduch a ticho mu pomohou najít mír a klid. Čerstvého vzduchu a ticha je ale na detektiva ve výslužbě přeci jen trochu moc, a když ho bývalí kolegové požádají, aby znovu stanul v čele týmu vyšetřujícího vraždy, velmi vážně nabídku zvažuje. Když je nalezeno tělo matky a její malé dcerky, nezbývá mu nic jiného než znovu naskočit do sedla a udělat přítrž řádění brutálního vraha dřív, než zaútočí znovu. Svět se však během jeho nepřítomnosti posunul vpřed a chce-li do něj Logan zapadnout, bude ho to stát více úsilí, než si původně představoval. Bude ochotný ho vynaložit? Možná se mu v předčasném důchodu přeci jen nevedlo tak špatně.

Když oblíbeného strážníka z Kilmarnocku ubijí v jeho vlastním domě k smrti, všechno nejdřív nasvědčuje tomu, že šlo o loupež, která se zvrtla. Jenže když ve službě přijde o život jeho kolega, je jasné, že jde o něco mnohem zlověstnějšího: někdo záměrně vraždí policisty. Inspektorka Heather Filsonová, které ztrpčuje život nová nesnesitelná kolegyně a puberťačka posedlá skutečnými zločiny, musí brutálního vraha vypátrat dřív, než napětí mezi policií a veřejností skončí katastrofou. V Glasgow už totiž propukly nepokoje a pouliční rvačky, a nestačí jen chytit vraha – je třeba zabránit tomu, aby v největším skotském městě zavládlo násilí.

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 beauty as a backdrop, Logan must navigate a web of secrets and lies that stretch from music studios to old flames – and find out who wanted Johnny silenced for good.The gripping next instalment in the DCI Jack Logan series, perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Val McDermid and Stuart Macbride.
