Deep Fury by David Freed

Deep Fury

Book 7

A naked man plummets to his death from the night sky. For flight instructor and retired government assassin Cordell Logan, the murder is personal. The victim is Logan’s former Air Force wingman—a battle buddy he once trusted with his life. Who killed him, and why? To find the answers, Logan must venture into a deadly world of betrayal and buried secrets, where the slightest misstep can get him killed. The closer Logan gets to uncovering the truth, the closer he becomes to joining the dead himself in this blistering tale of loyalty, deception, and revenge.
