Crossfire

Mason Sharpe #9.5 / 15
by Logan Ryles
Crossfire (Mason Sharpe #9.5) by Logan Ryles
Unrated

Army veteran Mason Sharpe is killing time in downtown Pittsburgh when he sees a young woman dragged into a van in broad daylight. He hurls himself into the fight, but the kidnappers escape—leaving him bloodied on the asphalt.

The victim is Stacey Whitaker, estranged daughter of Pittsburgh's mayor. Minutes later, hacked billboards light up the city with her terrified face and a chilling demand: MAYOR WHITAKER—TIME TO TELL THE TRUTH.

As panic spreads, Mason teams up with police Sergeant Kelly Gallagher to hunt the kidnappers through the city's streets. But every clue pulls them deeper into a conspiracy with too many players, too many motives—and none of them clean.

The clock is ticking. A young woman's life hangs in the balance.

The good news? Mason Sharpe was built for moments like this. And he's about to do something the bad guys don't expect—step directly into the Crossfire.

Crossfire––a brand new novella in the stunning Mason Sharpe action thriller series. Perfect for fans of Lee Child, Jason Kasper and David Archer.

Also available for free on his website.

Logan Ryles

In the world of high-stakes thrillers, where a wrong turn can mean death and trust is a currency few can afford, Logan Ryles has carved out a space where danger feels real—and so do the people facing it.

Long before his name appeared on bestseller lists, Ryles was navigating the backroads of Alabama, working jobs that ranged from pizza delivery to alpaca shearing. It’s an unlikely origin story for a writer whose books now echo through the kindles and shelves of action-thriller fans around the world. But those early years—immersed in small-town grit and unpredictable detours—taught him what adrenaline feels like off the page. That same pulse drives the pacing of every novel he writes.

Ryles’s thrillers aren’t just fast—they’re sharp. Series like Mason Sharpe and Reed Montgomery throw readers into tightly wound plots packed with tactical precision, emotional stakes, and characters who are haunted as much as they are heroic. Whether it's a sniper with a code or an ex-operative hunting shadows in his own backyard, the men and women in Ryles’s stories live in a world where violence is a tool, but justice is the goal.

What sets his work apart isn’t just the gunfire or global conspiracies—it’s the human cost woven into each decision. Ryles understands that a good thriller isn’t built on explosions; it’s built on pressure, and how people bend—or break—under it.

His breakout into full-time writing came in 2018, when he left a steady banking career to pursue fiction full-force. Since then, he’s released over 30 novels across interconnected universes, including Wolfgang Pierce and Prosecution Force, which share characters and lore with his core series. His approach is cinematic, his research meticulous, and his storytelling relentless.

Now based in Nashville with his wife and fellow writer Annie Harlow, Ryles balances the chaos of fictional warfare with the quiet rhythm of life in the South—motorcycle rides, saltwater fishing, and the occasional garden project.

For readers who crave thrillers that move fast but cut deep, his work is more than a ride—it’s a reckoning.
