Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Val McDermid, and Stuart MacBride, this fast-paced police procedural blends dark suspense with sharp characterisation.

About the Book
Burdened by guilt over the trauma recently inflicted on his friends and colleagues, former-Detective Chief Inspector Jack Logan has spent the past nine months living in self-imposed exile, trying to escape the weight of past cases and the people he let down. But peace proves elusive. When a mother and her young daughter are found dead in what first appears to be a tragic suicide, closer inspection reveals a far darker truth: a calculated double murder staged to mislead investigators. Logan is dragged back from the sidelines to help hunt down a brutal and meticulous killer before they strike again.

Returning to a world that has moved on without him, Logan must navigate a minefield of old friendships, simmering resentments, and new enemies before he can hope to close in on his target. As the investigation deepens, a tight-knit Highland community begins to fracture under the pressure of suspicion and fear, and Logan realises that maybe early retirement wasn't such a bad idea after all. With Kirk's trademark blend of tension, dark humour, and richly drawn Highland settings, The Big Man Upstairs delivers another compulsive read for crime thriller enthusiasts.

About the Author
JD Kirk lives in the Highlands of Scotland with his wife, two children, and a number of sturdy umbrellas. He also doesn't exist. JD is, in fact, the pen name of award-winning author, comic book writer and screenwriter Barry Hutchison, who also, coincidentally, lives in the Highlands with his wife, two children, and the aforementioned umbrellas. Under this pseudonym, Kirk has built one of the UK's most popular independent crime series, praised for its dark wit and page-turning plotting.

Why You'll Love This Crime Thriller
Tense, twisty, and steeped in Highland atmosphere, The Big Man Upstairs is vintage JD Kirk: a compelling case, a flawed and compelling hero, and a community unravelling under pressure. Ideal for binge-reading fans of the series.
