CRIME CLUB: "A Rock and a Hard Place” by JD Kirk

August 29, 2025 • QBD Books • Season 5 • Episode 32

Join host Victoria Carthew as she speaks with bestselling author JD Kirk, about his latest DCI Jack Logan thriller, “A Rock and a Hard Place”.

When washed-up 80s rock legend Johnny Freestone is found dead in a cave, it appears to be another celebrity lost to a reckless lifestyle, but detective Jack Logan thinks otherwise. As Logan delves into Johnny's final days, he uncovers a trail of bitter rivalries, broken promises, and a comeback tour that wasn't quite what it seemed. Logan must navigate a web of secrets and lies that stretch from music studios to old flames - and find out who wanted Johnny silenced for good.
