Publisher's Synopsis
Flat Spin is the first installment in David Freed's acclaimed series featuring Cordell Logan, a sardonic pilot with dwindling savings and a shadowy past.
Flying out of California's sunny Rancho Bonita, Cordell Logan is a flight instructor and aspiring Buddhist whose attempt at a quiet(er) life is shattered when his ex-wife Savannah arrives on his doorstep. Her new husband--and Logan's former comrade-in-arms--Arlo Echevarria, has been murdered and she needs his help.
Logan and Echevarria used to be members of a top-secret military assassination team known as Alpha. Savannah begs him to tell the police what he knows in order to help them solve the murder, but sharing that sort of information raises both ethical and practical concerns. After an attempt on Logan's own life it becomes clear that this goes deeper than he thought, and that solving the murder himself may be the only way to ensure his--and Savannah's--safety.
Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter David Freed brings his own experience to bear in this brilliant page turning mystery perfect for fans of Robert B. Parker and Robert Rotstein.
