Eastgate: A Robert Hoon Thriller (Robert Hoon Thrillers)

Product Information

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.

Given his love for Scotland-based fiction, it is not surprising that he has been living in Fort William, Scotland for years. So here’s the good part, because I bet having read all that 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.His new book writing as JD Kirk – the last in his series featuring lead character Bob Hoon – has been inspired by his love of the movie Die Hard. 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.

And Barry confesses he does get recognised on the streets of his hometown, which leads to a problem… This conscious framing of the book as a Die Hard set in the Highlands is complemented by Bob Hoon, who’s written very much in the hard-boiled mode with a number of genre winks and familiar characterisations. Do you enjoy working within the tropes of different genres? He swore he’d never set foot there again, but almost four decades after he left, Bob Hoon is finally going home.”

And his childhood visits from Fort William to the Eastgate Centre at Christmas time have also played their part. Northwind” the first novel of the “Robert Hoon Thrillers” series introduces our protagonist Detective Superintendent Robert Hoon. Some readers hated him. Others, inexplicably, adored him. And, as the series progressed, I took a perverse delight in making Bob that bit worse in every book. He was a thug, a drunk, and an ever present pain in the arse.
