Description
Award-winning author David Freed brings readers another fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled mystery in Voodoo Ridge, the third in the Cordell Logan series.
Back in 1956, a cargo plane left a small airport outside Los Angeles and flew straight into a raging storm, never to be seen again. Sixty some years later, retired military assassin and would-be Buddhist Cordell Logan catches sight of something as he and his fiancé Savannah are flying over the Sierra Nevada Mountains. That tiny plane and its mysterious cargo have finally been found.
The planned trip to Lake Tahoe is thrown off when Logan is asked to guide a search and rescue team to the remote crash site. He agrees, but what they find is nothing like what they expected. Alongside the old plane and the mummified pilot is a fresh corpse: the body of a young man, shot mere hours before. Someone beat them to the crash—and the cargo—and will stop at nothing to profit off what they found. Including kidnapping Savannah to ensure Logan’s cooperation.
Filled with unexpected twists, full-throttle action, and wry humor, Voodoo Ridge is a thrilling mystery that sees Cordell Logan drawn into the most perplexing and deadly situation he’s ever faced.
