Publisher's summary

What price would you pay for fame?

Following a convention in the Scottish Highlands, eight social media influencers vanish without a trace, leaving their followers–and families–in a state of shock, and the police clueless as to their whereabouts.

And then, the livestreams begin.

Broadcast live from their squalid underground cells, the young influencers are forced into a sadistic battle for survival.

With each livestream, their captor pits them against each other in a twisted competition for likes. The influencer with the fewest positive reactions faces a gruesome end–live on camera.

As the likes increase and the death toll rises, DCI Jack Logan and his team must traverse both the Scottish wilderness and the darkest corners of the internet to try and save the remaining captives.

But how do you catch a killer who is always one click ahead?

A Killer of Influence is the 20th book in the multi-million selling DCI Jack Logan series from internationally bestselling Scottish crime author, JD Kirk.

JD Kirk is back on his game!

After some silly absurdity in the spinoffs, JD Kirk is back in rare form in this DCI Jack Logan novel. The story is fantastic, and I even want to throttle him for that twist at the end. This was an excellent book! (OK I wish we had been treated to more detail of Hoon’s interaction with Thomas, but you can’t win them all! 😂)

DCI LOGAN Character

I love this full series and cannot wait for the next book. I enjoyed and the characters and how the writer has the pulse of each person and how they work well into a great surprising ending to a difficult story line.

Too much of a good thing? Never!

Book 20 of the DCI Jack Logan did not disappoint. This was a big case. Lots of guest stars and notable mentions made this the best book of the series, a book truly for the fans.

As we’ve come to expect, the humor was perfect throughout the novel. One scene caught me off guard with its brilliance, I nearly wrecked my car in laughter. Then, there were tears. Not a few stray drops running down the cheeks but full on ugly crying.

All I can say is JD Kirk is a national treasure and since I’m not a Scottish National, I’d say he’s a global treasure.

If you’re reading this and haven’t read the previous 19 books, along with the 5 Hoon books, and 2 Filson books….STOP!

Yes everyone can enjoy this installment as their first foray into the Logan-verse, BUT, you will enjoy this book a thousand times more if you knew all the background information. That’s why I say this book is truly one for the fans.

Another great book!

This was so good! It’s always great to be back with Jack Logan and his crew. This story has amazingly emotional moments. The narration by Angus King is, as usual, perfect!

I didn’t want it to end …

This series feels like coming back to family each time I listen. I look forward with anticipation to the next in the series and am so sad when it’s over. Thank you JD Kirk for your exceptional way of weaving these character’s lives together and bringing them into ours. Angus King brings them to life and makes me laugh and cry with his interpretations of the book. Please don’t stop this series!!! It’s a 5 star every time!

Best of the Series so far

I laugh and cry in the movies, or watching TV, but in almost 80 years this is the first series that makes laugh out loud and cry real tears. This story is an amazing roller coaster of emotions, in the best way possible. I don't know how JD/Barry is going to top himself this time, but I'm sure he will and I can't wait for book 21.

Shocker!

Oh my gosh! I love these characters! I don't think I've ever cried so much, laughed so hard, or chewed my nails so far down while reading a book. There were times I didn't want to finish because I was terrified of the ending. More tears.
