About this listen

Flat Spin is the first installment in David Freed’s acclaimed thriller 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 bare in this brilliant binge-worthy mystery perfect for fans of Robert B. Parker and Robert Rotstein.

A great story, engaging characters and a narrator who brings it all together

Travis McGee has always been a favourite and I couldn’t help drawing comparisons between Cordell Logan and McGee. The ‘hero’ is funny, a bit of a loner, military training and loyal but not perfect. Great one liners and a little tragedy thrown in. Sad there are only 6 books in the series, at least with McGee their are over 20. Like the narrator for John D MacDonald’s Travis McGee, Robert Petkoff, Ray Porter makes these novels engaging and speed by far too quickly. Sad to see the 2nd in this series has been read by another, though the stand in narrator does a fine job, he just isn’t Ray Porter. Well worth getting any and all books in the series.

worse than watching paint dry

I am an avid reader of many authors, but this is one I would not read again. First person narrative of such banal mediocrity I have rarely if ever read before. Frankly a complete waste of time. Called a 'Thriller', not in a million years.
