Cold Front: A Logan Cross Thriller (Dark Waters Trilogy) Paperback – February 28, 2026

When a routine Coast Guard call turns into a brutal homicide investigation, Boatswain’s Mate First Class Logan Cross is thrust back into the world he thought he left behind—the world where danger lurks beneath every wave, loyalties fracture under pressure, and the wrong move can get you killed.Cross wanted a quieter life after years with the elite Maritime Security Response Team, but when his crew responds to a vague medical emergency off Cape Ann, they find something far worse: a drifting boat, a dead trafficker with two bullets in his chest, and a deck stacked with narcotics. The victim isn’t random. Cross recognizes him instantly—Tony Rivetti, a notorious trafficker he once hunted in MSRT ops… and narrowly missed.Before Cross can secure the scene, his commanding officer abruptly shuts down protocol, blocks law enforcement notification, and quietly meets with a mysterious lieutenant who vanishes as quickly as he appeared. Something is wrong in Gloucester—dead wrong—and Cross’s instincts scream that a dangerous conspiracy is taking shape in the shadows.As Cross digs deeper, he uncovers a network of corruption, covert players, and a kill-list disguised as maritime mishaps. To expose the truth, he’ll need every skill he hoped he’d never use again—tactical expertise, combat intuition, and the relentless drive to protect his crew at any cost. But the enemies closing in on him aren’t just drug runners or hired killers. They wear uniforms. They hold authority. And they know Cross is getting too close.With a storm rising on sea and shore, Cross must risk his career, his marriage, and ultimately his life to stop a deadly operation before it reaches the people he loves most. Because in this game, the only way out is through—and the ocean isn’t the only thing that’s unforgiving.Cold Front is a gripping military thriller packed with adrenaline-fueled action, authentic Coast Guard operations, high-stakes conspiracy, and a hero fighting to do what’s right in a world where doing so could destroy him.

Box, and Stephen Hunter, this explosive nautical thriller launches the unforgettable Logan Cross into a collision course with corruption, vengeance, and the razor’s edge of justice. Read more
