Hunter's Moon

December 1, 1995
Harry Griffin is a Vietnam veteran, recovering alcoholic, and graphic artist for a St. Paul, Minnesota, newspaper. His old friend Bud Maston invites him to a rural lodge for a hunting trip, and Griffin reluctantly accepts. Within 24 hours, Griffin has a passionate coupling with Maston's beautiful but sinister new wife, Jesse, kills Jesse's grown son Chris to prevent Chris from killing Maston, and has a drink for the first time in a decade. Logan's first novel charts Griffin's investigation into Chris's life and the seamy, convoluted events leading up to his accidental death. Although a bit too long, this suspense novel moves at a brisk pace and has well-drawn characters and landscapes. For large fiction collections.-A.J. Wright, Univ. of Alabama, Birmingham
