Publisher Description

DCI Jack Logan is back!

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 Police Scotland detective – and secret Freestone fan – Jack Logan isn't convinced that the star's death was an accident. 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 backdrop as the stage, Logan must unravel a web of secrets and lies that entangles everyone from music studios to old flames, and find out who wanted the self-styled "voice of a generation" silenced for good.

Somewhere between a rock and a hard place, the truth waits to be unearthed...

A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE is the 21st book in the multi-million selling DCI Jack Logan series, and the perfect jumping on point for new readers wanting to find out what all the fuss is about.
