Logan's Storm

The capstone of Ken Wells's acclaimed Catahoula Bayou trilogy, " Logan's Storm" tracks the epic journey of Logan LaBauve as he flees corrupt cops while trying to lead Chilly Cox--the teenager whose "crime" was rescuing Logan's son, Meely, from a racist bully--to safety. But dodging two-footed predators deep in the Cajun backwaters turns out to be the easy part. As Logan, accompanied by a newfound love interest, heads to Florida to lie low, a killer hurricane springs from the Gulf--and lives are suddenly on the line. Wells writes with Twain's flair for adventure and Welty's sense of place, making "Logan's Storm" a trip through the heart and soul of a singular American character. "From the Trade Paperback edition."
