About This Audiobook
Just before his execution, a condemned murderer claims the real killer was actually a celebrated defense contractor and war hero — which sends aging Vietnam legend Hub Walker to hire someone to prove the claim wrong. Enter Cordell Logan: former military assassin, failed Buddhist, and increasingly puzzled flight instructor, who flies his Cessna to San Diego expecting a routine investigation and finds himself in something much more dangerous. David Freed's second Cordell Logan novel maintains the series' sharply comedic edge alongside genuine thriller tension.
Keith Szarabajka brings a dry, world-weary wit to Logan's narration that suits the character's reluctant-hero persona perfectly, finding the comedy without undercutting the menace when the stakes escalate. At just under nine hours, the pacing is lean and efficient, and Szarabajka's distinctive voice makes Logan's internal monologue feel like genuine company for the duration. A satisfying, character-driven listen.
