Ex-Police Scotland detective, Bob Hoon, has made himself some powerful enemies.

Following his brutal search for the missing daughter of an old army colleague, Hoon is being hunted by the Loop, a secretive criminal cabal with members in very high places and a tendency to eliminate all those who stand against it.

Unfortunately for them, Hoon has never been one to back down from a fight, and he isn’t about to start now. Instead, he’s going to burn their whole damn organisation to the ground.

But first, he’s going to have to get inside.

He may be a foul-mouthed, hard-drinking psychopath with a death wish, but Bob Hoon is about to do something he hasn’t done in years.

He’s going undercover.

Read the second explosive Robert Hoon Thriller from million-selling crime author, JD Kirk - perfect for fans of Lee Child, Robert Ludlum, and David Baldacci.

“Jog on, Bond. Hoon is the hero we need!” - Angus King

I gave up....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 April 2022

I have to say I enjoyed the first novel & managed to block out the amount if swearing. However, I only managed a quarter of this book before deciding I wasn't enjoying the book & the amount of usage of the "f" word was really intruding into my enjoyment of the story. OK I don't like swearing but as I'd put up with it in the last book thought it'd be OK but it wasn't. It seemed Hoon swore about every other word & this really was too much. J D Kirk is one of my favourite authors but I'd had enough with the Hoon series & doubt I'll ever finish this nor will I buy anymore in this series. I know its Hoons signature but really enough is enough or in this books case far too much.

Full of school boy swearing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 March 2022

I preordered this book because the first in this series was excellent, this one however failed to live up to my expectations, and was further ruined with the almost school boy swearing, I’m certainly no prude and the swearing itself doesn’t bother me, who hasn’t at onetime or another had an expletive laden rant, but let’s be honest whilst the first book was an refreshing change, for me this one the swearing became tiresome and distracting.

Hoon is loose. You have been warned.

The Loop. A secret network; peopled with movers and shakers. No one can break them down.

Away with you; you just leave it to me son.

Hoon, retired copper, current one man warzone, has been wound up and let go. Still on the search for Caroline Gascoine, an offer of help comes from an unexpected quarter. Initially reluctant to allow anyone to join him in his mission, Hoon comes to see the advantages of teaming up, but some rules still need to be observed. And that’s non-negotiable.

Follow Hoon as he takes no prisoners on his quest. Untameable, fearless and well and truly out of order, Hoon has made a promise to get the job done. And, if you don’t believe him? Well, you know fair well what you can do.

Absolutely superb; feels like the very best of guilty pleasures.

Crude, violent and just awesome!

I didn't think there were many more ways Bob Hoon could express himself in colourful ways but I was wrong! Yet somehow with all this, it doesn't detract from the book. I thought he was too OTT in the Logan books but here I find him much more interesting, probably since he's been developed more as a lead character.
I'm guessing Mr Kirk has been watching the TV series Banshee, owing to one of the antagonists and also a particular 'characteristic' he might have, not saying any more than that! Good work, JD, very good work!
The plot itself is great, fast paced, intriguing and more than a few laughs among the darkness.
Keep up the good work please, both in this series and DCI Logan. You are one of the few authors I check Amazon constantly to see when the next book is out!

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 March 2022

Verified Purchase

Aww my goodness where can I possibly start with explaining just how FABULOUS Southpaw is? I love all of Mr Kirks books every single one is a pleasure to read. I have patiently waited for this having thoroughly enjoyed Hoon's first solo book and was equally impressed. Each story if fresh, unique yet so beautifully entertaining with humour that's had me laughing out loud. I would love to know where Mr Kirk gets his ideas from, this story creased me up with Godfreys "strange fetish" ideas, seriously where did that idea come from hopefully not someone he knows??. The characters strong, story believable and dialogue just sooooo funny. I would highly recommend this author and all his books utterly superb thank you. BP Sheffield.

Ya wee bawbag!! I love Bob Hoon!!

Absolutely blown away, yet again by JD Kirk.

I couldn’t wait for this one to be publish, I couldn’t wait to read it, I couldn’t wait to finish it, but I don’t want it to end.

Strap yourself in, and hold on tight, we are going from 0 to 100 in a matter of 4 chapters!!

I would highly recommend reading the first book ‘The North Wind’ featuring my mate Bob, just so you can get to grips with his character and refine your Scottish accent.

Having read all of JD Kirk’s book I’ve known about Bob for a while.

I was a little reluctant to read the first book, couldn’t get enough of it and have been waiting with baited breathe for the follow up.

While my Scottish accent still hasn’t improved much (I just can’t help myself when Bob is talking) my absolute love for the crazy bastard just keeps getting stronger!!

Can’t wait for the next instalment!!

Just pure brilliance.

Well, I think my blood pressure has just returned to normal after reading Southpaw in one sitting. Maybe, for my health, I should read over a few days. Yeah right, like that is ever going to happen with a book from this author!
I enjoyed reading this book and I really felt some compassion in Bob's interactions with a couple of characters. Although, he would swear blind (in an absolute huge variety of words) I was reading the story wrong. Miles & Greig were brilliant additions and I would really be interested to see if they could be further developed in the following book in this series. Just a thought on my part there. Again, I really feared for Bob but I realise now, he is an ageing, bad tempered, bad mouthed, Scottish version of the Terminator - what a film that would be.
I really enjoy the way the writing of JD Kirk immerses you so very quickly into the story to the extent you really care for the goodies and despise the baddies - it's a gift he has in spades. Hope we don't have to wait too long for book 3. This series could run & run. Bravo JD, you have delivered again.

Violent, funny and crude. Highly recommended

The second individual outing for ex cop Bob Hoon sees his continued search for his friend's missing daughter as he comes across an underground group called The Loop, comprising of a lot of big names. Hoon starts poking around where he's not wanted and all hell is let loose!!
Hoon is a brilliant character and anti-hero - violent, foul mouthed, sarcastic and at war with most of the world, however he does have a heart of gold even if it is well hidden. Most of the other characters are largely bit part in a story that hammers along at a relentless pace and has some fantastically funny moments alongside the brutal violence.
Gritty, funny and highly recommended.
