About Southpaw:
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.

My Thoughts:
The author said that he envisions Bob Hoon as somebody like Graham McTavish. So Graham McTavish it is!
This is the first series that I've read of this author. Of course, by now, I know he also have other books, like the DCI Jack Logan thrillers, which is an even older series than this. I just hope that I didn't miss anything by reading the Bob Hoon thrillers first instead of reading the Jack Logan one instead.
This book has the same masterful story telling quality, beautiful world building, relateable characters, and wonderful story that the first book had. I am now a Bob Hoon die-hard fan!
I like the way Angus King gives Hoon a gravely voice! Kudos to the narration!
