About this listen

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.

Flawless writing and perfect performance

David Freed’s Deep Fury has been a long time coming, I think around nearly eight years, and it was absolutely worth the wait. As the seventh entry in the Cordell Logan Mysteries series, it brings us back into the world of the sharp-tongued, self-deprecating former government assassin turned flight instructor. This time, the stakes are as high as ever, and the journey is nothing short of exhilarating.

The story begins in classic Logan style: with a bizarre, jaw-dropping incident. A naked man falls from the sky and crashes through the roof of a mobile home. That man is Pete Hostetler, a toy company executive and, more importantly, one of Logan’s old Air Force Academy classmates and a trusted wingman from Desert Storm. But what initially seems like an odd and tragic accident quickly turns into something far more sinister. As Logan digs deeper into Pete’s death, he uncovers a tangle of lies, dangerous secrets, and a side of his old friend he never saw coming.

Mr. Freed’s writing is as sharp and engaging as ever. He masterfully blends Cordell’s sardonic humor with a captivating mystery that keeps you guessing at every turn. Logan is always compelling and I love every second spent in his company, but what makes this installment even more intriguing is the dynamic between him and his current partner, Layne Sterling. Their chemistry is natural and understated, and it adds an emotional depth to the story that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Ray Porter is one of the best narrators in the audiobook industry and once again delivers a phenomenal performance, cementing himself as the perfect voice for Cordell Logan. His ability to bring the characters to life, capture Logan’s dry humor, and maintain the tension during action-packed moments is nothing short of extraordinary. Mr.Porter handles Layne’s character with finesse, giving her a strong, confident voice that complements Logan’s without overshadowing him. Listening to this audiobook feels less like hearing a narration and more like being immersed in a perfectly performed production.

After waiting so long for this audiobook, I couldn’t stop once I hit play—I devoured it in one session. Mr. Freed’s ability to craft a fast-paced, multi-layered mystery is on full display here. The plot twists are expertly executed, and the resolution is both surprising and deeply satisfying. What stands out most, though, is Freed’s knack for blending high-stakes suspense with moments of genuine heart and humor.

Deep Fury is a masterclass in mystery writing and a stellar addition to the Cordell Logan series. It’s witty, suspenseful, and emotionally resonant, with characters you can’t help but root for. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the series, this audiobook is a must-listen. Freed and Porter make an unbeatable team, and I can only hope it won’t be another eight years before we hear from Cordell Logan again.

For flawless writing and perfect narration, Deep Fury gets my highest praise: the Editor’s Choice Award for Excellence in Entertainment. This award celebrates the exceptional cooperation between author and narrator, which always elevates the narrative experience to the highest level of immersion and entertainment as humanly possible and it is given to oth of them together. 
Congratulations and thank you for the entertainment!
