“An Action Packed Thriller”
Cordell Logan, a private flight instructor in Rancho
Bonita, is taking some time off to remarry his ex-wife, Samantha. They are
flying down to Lake Tahoe for the ceremony. However, a few miles out from the
airport, Logan spots what he believes is the wing of an airplane that has crashed
in Voodoo Ridge. Notifying the police upon arrival at the airport, he’s asked
to lead a rescue team to the crash site. From here, things go decidedly wrong.
They discover the plane had crashed in 1956, and the pilot was long dead, but
another mystery is apparent: another body is present, one killed the day
before, and something has been taken from the plane.
As the mystery deepens, Samantha is kidnapped, and
Logan is forced by the kidnapper to fly the stolen package to Santa Maria, if
he wants to see his Samantha alive again. Meanwhile he and the police have been
searching for her, but nothing solid has surfaced. Then, he finds out what is
in the package, and must make a decision that could well kill the woman he
loves.
This was the third novel in the Cordell Logan series.
Cordell is an ex-government assassin, trained in finding terrorists and
eliminating them. He knows he will eventually catch up with the killer and
kidnapper, and will kill him, if the police don’t stop him first. But his hands
are sufficiently tied, as he can’t afford to put Samantha’s life in jeopardy by
his own actions, and it appears he is under observation by the bad guys. The
series has just been getting better, too. Now, there is a hint that Logan may
become more active with his old unit again, which means we will be in for more
fun and action. Highly recommended for a page turner.
