Deep Fury

Book 7

A naked man drops from the night sky and crashes through the roof of a mobile home, nearly killing the elderly couple inside. The victim is soon identified as Pete Hostetler, a well-respected executive at a California-based toy manufacturing company. Detectives are baffled. Did Hostetler accidentally fall from an aircraft, or was he pushed?

For Cordell Logan, the death is personal. The two men were classmates at the US Air Force Academy and later flew combat missions together over Iraq during Operation Desert Storm, where Hostetler once saved Logan’s life.

Determined to avenge his battle buddy’s death, Logan soon discovers nothing is as it seems—and that he may not have known Hostetler nearly as well as he believed. Before long, a vexing trail of clues sends Logan and his aging Cessna, the Ruptured Duck, across California, deep into Mexico, and straight into the crosshairs of a ruthless killer.

The Kill Circle

Book 6

When a retired CIA analyst plunges off a mountain road in Colorado in his vintage Porsche, local authorities dismiss it as a tragic accident. Then two more retired analysts turn up dead under equally mysterious circumstances. All three men once worked on the same classified project: an internal CIA review examining whether rogue elements within the agency played a role in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Now, with a Congressional mandate forcing the release of long-secret files involving JFK’s murder, someone appears willing to kill to keep the truth buried.

Cordell Logan is drawn into the investigation alongside Layne Sterling, a sharp and fearless CIA operative determined to uncover what really happened that day in Dallas in 1963. As the bodies pile up, Logan and Layne find themselves pulled into a deadly game of deception, pursuit, and betrayal stretching from the mountains of Colorado to the shadowy world of American intelligence.

Because some secrets, as they discover, aren’t merely worth killing for. They’re worth rewriting history to protect.

Hot Start

Book 5

While taking a midnight swim at their secluded seaside estate, a notorious international big-game hunter and his wife are killed by a sniper firing from long range. Police identify the likely killer: a volatile animal-rights activist with military training, a criminal record, and a well-publicized hatred of the dead hunter. The evidence against him appears airtight.

Cordell Logan isn’t convinced. Persuaded by mutual friends to look into the case, Logan soon discovers that the murders are tied to something larger and far more dangerous than anyone suspects. What begins as a seemingly straightforward investigation pulls him into a shadowy conspiracy involving a powerful congressman with ties to the White House and a ruthless Czech crime boss determined to protect his criminal empire at any cost.

As the pressure mounts and the body count rises, Logan finds himself navigating a deadly world of corruption, violence, and political intrigue where trusting the wrong person could get him killed. To uncover the truth, he’ll have to go further—and risk more—than ever before.

The Three-Nine Line

Book 4

More than forty years after surviving the infamous “Hanoi Hilton” prisoner-of-war camp, three former American POWs return to Vietnam as part of a fragile diplomatic effort tied to a major U.S. trade agreement. Their mission is symbolic as much as political: publicly reconcile with one of the prison’s most feared guards. But before the meeting can take place, the former guard is murdered. Suspicion quickly falls on the three aging veterans. With billions of dollars and delicate international negotiations at stake, the agreement teeters on collapse.

Recruited by a newly formed covert intelligence unit, Cordell Logan is sent to Hanoi to find the real killer before the deal falls through. What begins as a sensitive diplomatic assignment soon becomes something far more dangerous—a vexing puzzle of wartime loyalties, buried secrets, and powerful forces determined to keep the truth hidden.

Set against the humid streets and uneasy memories of modern Vietnam, The Three-Nine Line draws Logan into a tense and deeply personal investigation where the wounds of war remain far from healed, and where every wrong answer could have deadly consequences.

Voodoo Ridge

Book 3

In 1956, a cargo plane takes off from a tiny airport outside Los Angeles and vanishes into a brutal winter storm. More than sixty years later, flight instructor Cordell Logan spots a glint of metal deep in California’s Sierra Nevada while flying with his ex-wife, Savannah. The missing aircraft has finally been found.

What begins as a getaway to Lake Tahoe quickly turns deadly when Logan is asked to lead a sheriff’s search-and-rescue team to the remote crash site. Inside the wreckage are the decomposed remains of the long-dead pilot—and evidence that someone else got there first. Nearby lies the body of a young man murdered only hours earlier. Whatever was hidden aboard the lost plane is still valuable enough to kill for.

When Savannah is kidnapped to force Logan’s cooperation, he is drawn into a relentless hunt stretching from the frozen Sierra backcountry to the darker corners of the modern American West. As the body count rises, Logan must uncover the secret behind the doomed flight before the past buries him with it.

Fangs Out

Book 2

Moments before he is executed, the killer of Hub Walker’s daughter makes a startling allegation: the real murderer is Walker’s close friend, a prominent U.S. defense contractor. Walker, a Vietnam War hero pilot and Medal of Honor recipient married to a former Playboy centerfold, wants to hire somebody who can find information that will refute the convicted killer’s claims and help restore his friend’s good name. As fate would have it, that somebody is Cordell Logan.

Logan convinces himself the job will be little more than a paid vacation in swanky La Jolla, California, where Walker lives, and a chance to rub shoulders with a living military legend. But after flying to San Diego in his beloved aging Cessna, the Ruptured Duck, Logan is drawn into a vexing and deadly jigsaw puzzle. The deeper he digs, the murkier the truth appears, and the more in danger he finds himself. Who really killed the war hero’s daughter, and why? Somebody wants to stop Logan from asking questions, and will stop at nothing to silence him.

Flat Spin

Book 1

Based in sunny Rancho Bonita—“California’s Monaco” as the city’s moneyed minions like to call it—Cordell Logan is a literate, sardonic flight instructor and aspiring Buddhist with dwindling savings and a shadowy past. When his beautiful ex-wife, Savannah, shows up out of the blue with news that her husband has been murdered in Los Angeles, Logan is quietly pleased. After all, Savannah’s late husband, Arlo Echevarria, is the man she left Logan for.

Logan and Echevarria were once comrades-in-arms assigned to “Alpha,” a top-secret military assassination unit. Savannah suspects Echevarria’s death may be related to what he and Logan once did for a living. The only problem is, the LAPD can find no record of his ever having worked for the government. Savannah wants Logan to tell the police what he knows. Logan is reluctant, but he still loves her. Relying on his small, aging Cessna, the Ruptured Duck, along with the covert skills he honed working for Uncle Sam, Logan doggedly hunts Echevarria’s killer.

His trail takes him from the glitzy Las Vegas Strip to the gritty ghettos of inner-city Oakland, from darkened Russian mafia haunts in West Los Angeles to the deserts of Arizona, and straight into harm’s way. But it is his relationship with Savannah, whom Logan continues to pine, that threatens to consume him.
