LOGAN

The first of two fast-moving, thrill-packed novels about a man-of-action known simply as Logan, a sea-faring adventurer with a dark, mysterious past...and a hair-trigger temper. He can't be scared. He can't be bought. And he's as turbulent and dangerous as the seven seas.Logan is docked in Panama. He returns to his boat with a lusty woman that he picked up in a bar, both of them worked up for a night of passion, until they find a dead woman already in his bed. So it's no surprise to Logan when the police arrive moments later, tipped off by an anonymous caller. Logan is sure it has something to do with refusing, the night before, a $10,000 offer from a stranger to take care of a delicate job. The stranger had warned him that they wouldn't take no for an answer. This is how they've rigged his cooperation. Now, to avoid torture and prison, Logan is forced into doing a dangerous mission: sailing his boat and a sexy woman into a war zone to dig up a corpse of a supposedly dead revolutionary for a positive I.D...and that's only the beginning of his troubles.Alan Joseph was the pseudonym of the amazingly prolific Jon Messmann, author of the Revenger, Handyman and The Trailsman (as Jon Sharpe) series.
