Description

It's 1956. A plane bearing a mysterious cargo takes off from a small airport outside Los Angeles and disappears into a raging storm. Nearly 60 years later, while flying over California's Sierra Nevada Mountains, retired military assassin-turned-civilian flight instructor and would-be Buddhist Cordell Logan catches a glint of sunlight on metal and spots what appears to be an aircraft wreckage. His life will never be the same.

Logan and his beautiful ex-wife Savannah, plan a reconciliation in posh Lake Tahoe. But upon landing in the Ruptured Duck, his beloved aging Cessna, Logan agrees to put those plans on hold when he's asked to help guide a search and rescue team to the remote, mountainous crash site. The team finds not only a long-missing airplane, with the mummified remains of its pilot still at the controls, but something much more recent and far more sinister: the body of a young man, shot to death only hours earlier. Someone has beaten the rescuers to the site and will clearly stop at nothing to profit from what the plane was carrying - including kidnapping and threatening to kill Savannah if Logan refuses to help them carry out their getaway plans. With the clock ticking and the love of his life in peril, Logan is drawn into a vexing vortex as personal and potentially deadly as any he's ever known.

Voodoo Ridge is a fast-paced adrenaline-fueled thrill ride filled with the kind of unexpected twists, full-throttle action and wry humor that won Freed's Flat Spin and Fangs Out, the first two installments in the Cordell Logan mystery series, rave reviews and a legion of loyal fans.

Advance Praise

"Sometimes you read a book and beg the author “Please don’t go there.” And, of course, he does. Tom Clancy lets the bomb go off. Chris Cleave burns the stadium. And David Freed? You’ll have to read this and see. With plot twists and turns nicely balanced by twists of turns of character, the escape of flight offering its beautiful contrast to hard realities on the ground, and hope carefully measured against despair, this is a novel where everything might hang on a single snap decision. Meanwhile the reader is pulled along, sharing the agony of the moment, and waiting for light." - Sheila Deeth

"This novel is not your classic mystery. The days of Conan Doyle and Christie are long past. The modern reader of mysteries expects more grit, suspense, and thrills mixed in with the classic elements of who-done-its or police procedurals—discovering the perp through possibly multiple crimes and many misdirects. Author Freed has delivered, and it’s a fun read. " - BookPleasures.com

"What makes this entry stand out, though, are the setting in the non-glamorous areas around Lake Tahoe and the sharply drawn, oddball supporting characters." - Publishers Weekly
