Detective Damien Drake #6
Drug Lord: Part I
There's a new brand of heroin flooding the streets, powder cut with a drug 25-times more powerful and deadly than fentanyl.And addicts can't get enough of it.Heralded as one of the deadliest drug epidemics in American history, accidental opioid overdoses have reached an all-time high in New York City.And that was before this new brand of heroin became available.The War Against Drugs might be a losing battle, but if someone doesn't do something soon, there'll be no one left to fight for. And yet, no one seems willing to step up and put everything on the line to follow the trail of tainted heroin to the source.Nobody.... except for one man. Only ex-NYPD Detective Damien Drake has problems of his own, foremost of which is staying out of prison. This is no easy task, especially when his quest to end the import of this deadly substance puts him in the cross hairs of those driven by greed and obsessed with power -- those who also just happen to be some of the richest and most influential members of New York's elite.

True story: I used to cut up bodies. No, not for fun, you sickos–for work. After reaching the age of majority and fleeing the clutches of an overprotective mother, I went to university like a good boy.
More than a decade later and an alphabet soup of letters after my name, I found myself looking down the double-chamber of a microscope at an eyeball. Feeling ironically introspective, I decided that it was time for a change.
After seventy plus novels and more than a million copies sold, I’ve found my true calling, one that also includes a plethora of letters. Hopefully you see something in my catalog that you like, something to feast your eyes on.
I also have two spooky podcasts that are appropriate for ALL ages, so long as you like to be scared: P.T. Logan's Five Minutes of Terror and Camp Fear. Both are FREE and available on all podcast platforms. For MATURE audiences, I've created two fiction podcasts, Nightmare Residue and Bad Priest.

A very intriguing thriller that will leave you wanting more. At times it stretches the imagination but you keep reading and enjoying every word. I can't wait for book 7.
I do want Drake to stop drinking and clean himself up. He needs to be a little less repulsive in his personality.

I 💗 Drake!
I’d be crying if I had to wait for Part Two! I’m lucky it is already written so I can jump back into this book! What a cliffhanger well rather junglehanger!
This book keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole way through. Jasmine has some secrets….well a lot of secrets. I think we will find out everything in part two. I am pretty sure I know where she started. I can’t wait to see if I was right.
Love Screech……
Were; you were a behind the scenes guy. It’s time to man up, put on your big boy pants and get your hands dirty.
Every book gets better! Don’t ever stop writing Patrick!

Will Drake make it through this new adventure alive? Will he finally catch the real Skeleton King? Drake has fallen so far down the gravity hole that he may not be sure which way is up and which way is down.
I find that Patrick Logan is great at telling a story. He captivated his audience. We are characters that we doesn't think we would see again. We also get introduced to new characters. Overall, this is a great addition to the Damien Drake series and I'm ready to start the next installment.

This was very different and very good. We get to know the characters better. Damien is put through the wringer in this one. His self punishment is not easy to read. I don't think I've read a book where the main character has ever been so determined before. Leroy is a great new character. What happened to him is so wrong on so many levels. Hanna is another welcome surprise. Screech made me lol many times. The tidbit we get on Chase is beyond interesting. As far the evil incarnate The Mayor - the levels that this guy goes to are scary and Dr. Kluk???? On to part 2.

Thanks; Patrick Logan for another great 👍
This was a great addition to the Damien Drake Series.
I love all the characters in this series and love that the characters from others are intertwined. Great new one's come on board I can't wait to see where they go. I couldn't read the intro to part II because I am off to read it now. I'm to excited to sleep so this will be a good night to read Part II

Gripping action
Convoluted intense action with many twists and turns and complex plots that keep you guessing makes this a great read! The characters evolve as the story unfolds and you feel immense empathy for some of them. The politics are attacked without caution and the corruption is revealed to be everywhere!

Wow
Let me just say Drake is a bad ass, he gets beat to a pulp but doesn’t give up. Him and his band of misfits are people I would like on my side. I really hope he gets out of the trouble he’s in, I mean he’s risked a lot to bring Smith and ANGUIS down. I hope he finishes his journey and gets to be with his son soon. This book is a page turner.

I’m into the series
While the characters are all flawed they are very real and after a while they are like family. I’m bing reading the series. One a day. Then I’ll read chase and beckets books. Good action and very unpredictable endings

Al ser la primera parte te deja con las ganas de saber como termina. Saber a donde va Drake, qué esconde Jasmine, qué harán los trabajadores de la Triple D, si los polis encontrarán a Ken y a Drake, qué planea el doctor Kruk...
Solo hay una forma de dar respuesta a todas esas dudas.
