Joe Logan #2
Atonement
Parked up off a lonely stretch of highway, a heated argument with her boyfriend prompts Tanya Foster to get out of the vehicle and head for town on foot in the darkness. A car stops, and the driver offers her a lift. Recognizing the man, Tanya accepts.
After a search the following day, Tanya’s body is found close to where her boyfriend, Ray Marshall, had been parked. She has been strangled, and all the evidence points to Ray being the perpetrator.
Logan has been staying at the Pinetop Motel for several days. It is the motel owner’s son that is being held by the Carson Creek Sheriff’s Department.
Logan carries out his own investigation, and discovers a clue which proves to him that Tanya had been attacked on the highway, and that her body had then been moved.
The killer is local, and realizes that Logan’s interference could ultimately lead to him, so calls in a favor from a gangster in Denver to have Logan eliminated.
Logan unearths the identity of the girl’s murderer, but has no proof that he can divulge to the local sheriff without it being known that he coerced his information from a hitman who is now dead.
With the assistance of Kate Donner, a lawyer representing Ray Marshall, Logan sets out to track the now decamped killer down; but he has upset a powerful man in Denver, who will not rest until Logan and Kate are dead.

About the author
Michael Kerr
89 books38 followersI write the type of original, action-packed, violent crime thrillers that I know I would enjoy reading if they were written by such authors as: Lee Child, David Baldacci, Harlan Coben, Michael Connelly and their ilk.
Over twenty years in the Prison Service proved great research into the minds of criminals, and especially into the dark world that serial killers - of who I have met quite a few - frequent.
I live in a cottage a mile from the nearest main road in the Yorkshire Wolds, enjoy photography, the wildlife, and of course creating new characters to place in dilemmas that my mind dreams up.
What makes a good read? Believable protagonists that you care about, set in a story that stirs all of your emotions.
If you like crime fiction, then I believe that 'Deadly Reprisal' and 'A Reacher Kind of Guy - Aftermath' will push all the right buttons for you.

For anyone who is a fan of Jack Reacher or Parker then this book is a must read, the character of Logan is strong, hard and grizzly. Yet he's cleverly written into dangerous situations that leave you guessing what the outcome is going to be, where this book has the advantage over Lee Child's Jack Reacher books is in its length. It's half the length of those books which means you get all the action and thrill thrown at you pretty quickly. There's never a dull moment.
