The Three-Nine Line

A Cordell Logan Mystery, Book 4

De: David Freed

Narrado por: Ray Porter

The fourth installment in the critically acclaimed Cordell Logan series, The Three-Nine Line brings the sardonic pilot all the way to Vietnam

It’s been over forty years since they were released from the “Hanoi Hilton"—a prisoner of war camp in Vietnam—and three American soldiers and ex-prisoners finally return to Vietnam. As part of an effort by the US government to settle a major trade agreement, these three men have agreed to make peace with one of their most brutal former captors—a guard they dubbed “Mr. Wonderful.” But when Mr. Wonderful is murdered, the three former POWs are the primary suspects and the multi-billion dollar deal threatens to unravel.

Enter Cordell Logan: pilot, still-aspiring Buddhist, and former military assassin.

Working with a newly formed covert intelligence unit, Logan arrives in Hanoi to identify the real killer before the trade agreement implodes. But he soon discovers a vexing and increasingly dangerous mystery that will take every ounce of ingenuity and resolve to unlock. Risking his life like never before, Logan must discover who killed the guard and why, and fast.

The Three-Nine Line is a classic, pulse-pounding work and an excellent addition to a thrilling series from award-winning author David Freed.

Loved it

Loved the writing by Freed and performance by porter, as allways. Snappy, ironi and speed in just the right places.

so glad i finally listened to this book

first of all, it took me forever to get this book because i was still hurting from the last one. im glad i waited because i was able to move on from her death and how she died. this one takes us to Vietnam and almost makes me want to visit that country. almost. Ray Porter? thank you. you are an amazing narrator. the chuckles that you pull from me are welcoming. but the dire seriousness you make certain situations are also very important. i love it when a narrator can make us feel like we're standing right next to you in any situation. i could almost feel the jet lag with you.
i started listening before this book finished downloading and i couldn't stop until the end. not for anything. truly a great mystery novel. great job!

Great Series of Books

David Freed has created a great character in Cordele Logan and Ray Porter does a fantastic job narrating bringing him and all the others to life.

Not my favorite Freed.

Still enjoyed the book but it wants me favorite in this series. there wasn't a lot of meat to the story but the wiring style and characters were great as usual .

i liked it

i liked it okay, not as much as his first book, but worth the money to pass windsheild time.

He Did It Again

Another terrific book by David Freed.. And another terrific reading by Ray Porter! I suggest every author to use Ray Porter specifically for any and all books from here on out! Even books that need a female narrator! Ray Porter can bring any book to life! The story was outstanding and coupled with Porter makes for one hell of a night of listening..

The Bet Logan Yet

This review could just contain three words...We LOVED it! Not only is the story captivating, well-researched, a terrific balance between angst and humor and a return for many of us to the memories of Viet Nam. AND, the continuing brilliant narration by Ray Porter only serves to make the story and characters three dimensional. There is one particular snippet that literally had us laughing so hard, we had tears streaming! We clipped it and have returned at least a dozen times to hear Ray Porter's hilarious take of Mr. Freed's description of a restaurant menu. Couple these thoughts with a growing fondness for the returning characters, especially Mrs. Schmulowitz, and it's like old home week, a class reunion, renewing friendships, and continuing involvement with people we care about (and, well, a cat too).

Another good one!

Not as sarcastically funny as books 1 & 2. Still, well worth the listen. Interesting adventures as he returns to a previous life.

nice

Finally, the main-character has stopped whining, developed compassion, left selfishness and is not a jerk.

Good—not as good as Voodoo Ridge

We enjoyed this book in the series but it wasn’t as personal as Voodoo Ridge. We enjoyed that one more.
