About Jack Logan
Jack Logan is a fictional character, an investigator and documentary filmmaker. He knows that the official version of an event is often self-serving spin or outright lies. Sorting through the misdirection is a challenge and his special calling.
Jack is not a cop, but he is after justice. He is not a spy, but he watches and observes. He recruits whistle-blowers. He hides, waiting for the opportunity to secretly record the truth that powerful people will only admit in private. He breaks the law because sometimes you have to commit a crime to catch a criminal. From missing persons, financial crimes, and murder to scandals with oddly convenient villains, Jack pursues the moments when the prevailing narrative proclaims one thing, but the evidence says something else. Those are the fractures where truth is waiting to be found—along with danger.
Jack is not alone in his pursuits. His wife, Maria Logan, is a federal prosecutor with an important mandate: find people who are abusing surveillance data. The job gives her access to texts and emails and phone conversations – secrets that some people would kill to obtain.
