The multi-million copy bestselling DCI Jack Logan series returns. Logan investigates the suspicious death of 80s rock legend Johnny Freestone, uncovering rivalries, secrets, and a comeback tour gone wrong.
Rock 'n' roll never dies. But its stars do.
When washed-up 80s rock legend Johnny Freestone is found dead in a cave off Scotland's North Coast 500 tourist route, it looks like a tragic accident—another celebrity lost to a reckless lifestyle.
But detective—and secret Freestone fan—Jack Logan is convinced he was murdered. 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.
