Was the biggest case of his career the worst mistake he ever made?

Ten years ago, DCI Jack Logan stopped the serial child-killer dubbed "Mister Whisper", earning himself a commendation, a drinking problem, and a broken marriage in the process.

Now, he spends his days working in Glasgow's Major Investigations Team, and his nights reliving the horrors of what he saw.

And what he did.

When another child disappears a hundred miles north in the Highlands, Jack is sent to lead the investigation and bring the boy home.

But as similarities between the two cases grow, could it be that Jack caught the wrong man all those years ago?

And, if so, is the real Mister Whisper about to claim his fourth victim?

A Litter of Bones is the explosive debut crime thriller novel from JD Kirk, an exciting new voice in Scottish crime fiction.

Really enjoyed 99.5% of this book except the tortured cat. Says something about me can cope with people murdered but not animals! However the story was very engrossing couldn't wait for the end and didn't want it to finish. Not least the narrator was brilliant.

Murder, mystery with flashes of humour

He's my favourite sort of policeman - an old hand, but not arrogant enough to think he knows it all, appreciative of his colleagues and not in thrall to his superiors.

The characters are well presented in this title, and the plot is well devised. I liked the way the solution played out gradually. The theme (child abduction and murder) is somewhat harrowing, but descriptions of this are sensitively done. The same cannot be said for the poor cats - I'd read earlier reviewers' references to this, so was forewarned, but even so I found the descriptions shocking.

I'll certainly look out for further books in the series.

I'm pleased to have met DCI Logan
