In late 2020, I first had the idea of giving Hoon his own novel. It was ridiculous, I knew. Here was a character so thoroughly unpleasant that even if readers enjoyed his scenes, surely they couldn’t cope with a full length novel in which he took centre stage? Surely they couldn’t actually empathise with such a man and cheer him on? This is the last book in the Hoon series and while I have really enjoyed it …. I do think wrapping Hoon up with a bow and sending him off the way J.D did was exactly the right thing to do.

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. He laughed: “It has probably been the most fun I’ve had writing a book. It’s an action movie in book form.” He is a former police officer and former soldier and is currently a man on the edge. He divided his time between a whisky bottle and a dead-end job and is shunned by colleagues.So here’s the good part, because I bet having read all that Over the course of the series, we get to understand Hoon better as despite being a larger-than-life foul-mouthed, a hard-nut, action man, beneath all he is a loyal, caring, and true friend. Before then all his writing has been for his own pleasure and hence when he realized he could make a career of it, there is nothing better he wanted to do.

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.

He is also very persistent in his endeavors and will never leave any stone unturned in his work. And so, if he and everyone else in the center are going to make it home for Christmas, Hoon is left with only one choice.
