The Cordell Logan Mystery series introduces a protagonist who gave up his career as a government killer to teach people how to fly Cessnas. Flat Spin (2012) sets the tone with Logan’s combination of combat skills, sarcasm, and reluctant involvement in a murder case. Fangs Out (2013), Voodoo Ridge (2014), The Three-Nine Line (2015), Hot Start (2016), and The Kill Circle (2017) continue the pattern.
Each book brings a new case that forces Logan to use skills he would rather forget, while his personal life provides ongoing complications. The aviation world is woven into the plots naturally, and Freed’s ear for witty dialogue keeps the tone entertaining even when the cases turn dark.
