Synopsis

A high-flying, high-octane thrill ride, Deep Fury is the long awaited seventh installment of the bestselling Cordell Logan Mysteries from author David Freed.A naked man drops from the night sky and crashes through the roof of a mobile home, nearly killing the elderly couple inside. The victim is soon identified as Pete Hostetler, a well-respected executive at a California-based toy manufacturing company. But detectives are baffled, and there are no leads. Did he accidentally fall out of an airplane or was he pushed?For Cordell Logan—a sardonic, financially struggling flight instructor and former government assassin—Hostetler’s death is personal. The two men were classmates at the US Air Force Academy and later served together as fighter pilots during Operation Desert Storm, where Hostetler saved Logan’s life during one particularly perilous combat mission in Iraq. Logan is convinced Pete was murdered. But who would’ve killed someone in such bizarre fashion, and why?Determined to avenge his battle buddy’s death, Logan starts digging and discovers nothing is as it seems, and that he may not have known Hostetler as well as he thought. Soon a vexing trail of clues lead him and his aging Cessna, the Ruptured Duck, across California, deep into Mexico, and relentlessly into harm’s way.

Goodreads review by Nikki on November 21, 2024

This was my first David Freed book and I really enjoyed it! This author is quite funny, I must say. Pete Hostetler falls naked from the sky and lands on someone’s trailer. First, where in the heck did this guy come from? And why is it raining naked men? Cordell Logan, a former government assassin, us......more

When a naked man falls from the sky and into the home/trailer of an older couple…well, there are a lot of questions… And when Cordell Logan finds out that it was a friend of his? Well, he must get to the bottom of this! Funny thing is, when he begins asking questions, strange things start happening. A......more

Goodreads review by Jenna on January 14, 2025

Deep Fury could easily be an action movie! It had a bit of everything — part suspenseful thriller, part high stakes flight/action, and it even had some humor and a bit of a love story! The landlady was one of my favorite characters ever - listening to this on audio was fun. I loved her accent and how......more

Goodreads review by Ash on February 27, 2025

Thoroughly entertaining and action packed! I haven't read any of the previous books in the series or anything by this author, and it read just fine as a standalone. I was immediately attracted to the audiobook narrated by Ray Porter, and, as always, his narration is perfect! He's a great fit for thi......more

Quotes

“What is it with aviators who write? Whatever the mystic connection between flying and writing, David Freed has it. Deep Fury is the seventh of his novels featuring former black ops government agent Cordell Logan—a deceptively easygoing, good-humored, struggling flight instructor and private investigator with other darker and more deadly skills. It’s action-packed, fun, funny, deft, touching, and addictive. Warning: you read one of Freed’s Logan books, you’ll want to read them all.” Hart Hanson, author of The Seminarian and The Driver

“Freed’s novel digs deep into the danger.” Alta

“Deep Fury has all the swagger of late twentieth-century action thrillers while realistically updating circumstances for the twenty-first century.” Criminal Element

“A phenomenal performance…Nothing short of extraordinary…Listening to this audiobook feels less like hearing a narration and more like being immersed in a perfectly performed production…David Freed and Ray Porter make an unbeatable team.” The Audiobook Blog
