Summary

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.

The prolific JD Kirk is actually raising his story telling.

Really enjoyed it. Brilliantly disguised ‘bad guy’ protagonist with a lovely twist at the end. Well paced with a fantastic narration by Catherine McCarron who judges the various voices and inclination perfectly.
I would absolutely recommend.

JD Kirk does it again

Another cracker of a story- with twists and turns as you can always expect.
Nice to hear the names and get cameos of our old friends Jack and shonagh, makes it feels like the family together.
Excellently read, highly recommended

a new series has begun

Another exceptional listen from the King of Scottish crime. I have now come to regard Heather in a totally different light to what I have previously. This book was just as well written and read as the Jack Logan series, with the same humour and laugh out loud moments, but in a different way. I would highly recommend this book to any Logan fans who have already met and formed an opinion of Heather. If it's read prior to meeting her, it may go a little above your head. Can't wait for the next book in this series. JD Kirk, you are a master

Gripping story

I am a big fan of the Logan and Hoon books, so this did not disappoint.
I liked how it was different from the Logan/Hoon books, as although the humour was there, the storyline brought out so many emotions. It was well written. I really hope this is the start of getting to know Heather more. JD Kirk is excellent as always.
