Better The Devil: A gripping Scottish crime thriller

In the Highlands, the devil you know might just be the most dangerous of all. This gripping installment in the DCI Logan Crime Thrillers series finds former drug kingpin Bosco Maximuke back on the streets, insisting he has reformed. However, when members of the criminal network that replaced him begin turning up dead, suspicion immediately falls on Bosco. With old enemies closing in and a trail of bodies stretching from Inverness to the remote corners of the Highlands, someone is settling scores.

The situation escalates when Bosco asks DCI Jack Logan for help—a man who wants nothing to do with him due to their bitter history. Matters are further complicated because Bosco’s teenage daughter, Olivia, now lives under Logan’s roof. Logan must navigate a case where the line between justice and revenge is thin, and trusting the wrong person could cost him everything.
