Hot Start: A Cordell Logan Mystery

The next fast-paced installment in the Cordell Logan series, Hot Start is an adrenaline-fueled, action-packed thrill ride.

One sweltering summer night, an international big-game hunter and his beautiful wife are shot dead-at long range-while swimming naked at their seaside estate in Rancho Bonita, California. The police are convinced the perpetrator is an outspoken animal-rights activist-who happens to have both military training and a criminal record. The evidence seems overwhelming. But then rumors begin to surface that there may be more than one person with the means and motive for murder.

The last thing Cordell Logan wants is to get involved in another police investigation. But he and the suspect have mutual friends, and Logan realizes he alone may be the only one able to discover what really happened. At first reluctant, he soon finds himself neck-deep in a confounding conspiracy involving a congressman with close ties to the White House and a ruthless Czech crime boss who will stop at nothing to protect his illicit operations. Finding the truth will take Logan to places he never expected-and expose him to dangers he may not survive.

Editorial Reviews

Noir Journal

A Cordell Logan mystery by David Freed is always something to be anticipated. The fifth in the series, Hot Start, is no exception.”

Booklist

For all his stealth training, however, Cordell is anything but subtle. Fortunately, he can rely on his military muscle memory and back up his big mouth when it gets him in trouble. And, boy, does it get him in trouble!…An easy sell to fans of Robert Crais and Tim Cockey and to everyone who likes some snark with their suspense.”

AudioFile

Ray Porter’s conversational style of narration beautifully portrays Logan’s cheeky humor and first-person introspection…Porter voices each character distinctly and depicts female characters particularly well. The Czech prostitute seems just as charming as Logan’s delightfully peculiar landlady.”

Associated Press

Another well-written yarn told with both a streak of quirky humor and a sense of authenticity.”
