Eastgate: A Robert Hoon Thriller (Robert Hoon Thrillers Book 4)

Product Information

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. 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. Even at a very young age, he was a huge fan of violence and gore just like he would be as an adult. And Barry confesses he does get recognised on the streets of his hometown, which leads to a problem…

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! 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. Outnumbered, outgunned, and on unfamiliar territory, Hoon’s only chance of survival lies several hundred miles north, in a place he knows better than anyone else on Earth.Barry explained: “There were originally going to be three books in the Hoon series – that was the plan, Northwind, Southpaw and Westward. We have spoken to a local tour company here in Fort William and we are looking to bring them in for next summer!” With so much potential for bloodshed, the police gathering outside the center can only wait, watch, and try to negotiate with the terrorists within. 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?

All around, he is something of a DCI Kett if he was not grounded by the influence of his wife and children. But it is his enemies who have all the information about what happened to his friend’s daughter. However, what his enemies do not know is that this case has given him a purpose in life which makes him very dangerous. 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.” 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.But my son said ‘You can’t NOT have a fourth one. You can’t leave it at three points of the compass!’

It’s like a sweary, psychotic, Scottish Die Hard.’ JD Kirk has become a bestselling sensation with his self-published crime novels. Better known as Barry Hutchison, BooksfromScotland caught up with him to talk about his latest novel and about his career as an author. Hoon owes him one and promises to help him find his daughter. From the mean streets of London to the Scottish highlands, Hoon goes on a relentless hunt as he encounters old enemies and makes new friends.

Publication Order of Robert Hoon Thrillers Books

Shunned by his old colleagues, and dividing his time between a dead-end job and the bottom of a whisky bottle, former Police Scotland Detective Superintendent Bob Hoon’s life is a mess.

This is the third book in the Robert Hoon Thrillers and as always be prepared for excess and lewd forms of swearing!! 🤬🤣 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.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. He would decide to become an author at age nine when he finished working on a Roald Dahl project in class. It was this project that showed him that writing was something that he could do professionally. I knew the book was coming out just before Christmas and Die Hard has always been one of my favourite movies of all time, and I thought ‘A Scottish Die Hard with a swearie, foul-mouthed psychotic Scotsman as Bruce Willis? That could be a lot of fun!’." Barry Hutchison who writes as JD Kirk.
