Eastgate: A Robert Hoon Thriller (Robert Hoon Thrillers)

Product Information

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. If you plan to pop along to the Inverness signing of Barry Hutchison’s new book in the Eastgate Centre, mind out for any gun-toting Santas… Eastgate - final thriller in Barry's Hoon series is set in the Eastgate Centre! Before then all his writing has been for his own pleasure and hence when he realized he could make a career of it, there is nothing better he wanted to do.

Then I realised I was standing in the Eastgate Centre and that the word ‘Eastgate’ was literally perfect.

Coming soon

JD Kirk combines humor and action with some brutal, bloody, and violent plots and characters to make excellent crime thrillers. And so, if he and everyone else in the centre are going to make it home for Christmas, Hoon is left with only one choice. I have said before; 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 in this story he is just the wrong guy in the wrong place. And he is going to spoil a lot of people’s plans for the holidays! I love J.D. Kirk’s books and I have enjoyed the Hoon series, they are funny, SUPER SUPER RUDE and inappropriate and entertaining. We got to meet some new characters and see some fan favourites in this book. I knew it was coming (the old favourites) yet I was still delighted. 🥳 With so much potential for bloodshed, the police gathering outside the centre can only wait, watch, and try to negotiate with the terrorists within.

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.

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.” Caroline their daughter that had gone missing, it seems that Hoon has pissed off some dangerous people.

He is impressed by Hoon’s pig-headedness and stubbornness and is also very interested in bringing the shadowy and evil cabal to justice. 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.It is the end of his series. But I think it would be a better man than me who would keep Bob Hoon down. So I would say it is probably not the last of him people will see! It’s Christmas time in Inverness Scotland and sh*t is about to get real!!! By way of synopsis J.D. Kirk provided a summary saying: The “Robert Hoon Thriller” series is a set of novels by the popular Scottish crime fiction author JD Kirk. Despite his massive popularity JD Kirk is actually the writing name of the award-winning children’s fiction author Barry Hutchison.
