Book Synopsis

The first explosive thriller featuring Peter Ash, a veteran who finds that the demons of war aren’t easily left behind...

“Lots of characters get compared to my own Jack Reacher, but Petrie’s Peter Ash is the real deal.”—Lee Child


Peter Ash came home from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with only one souvenir: what he calls his “white static,” the buzzing claustrophobia due to post-traumatic stress that has driven him to spend a year roaming in nature, sleeping under the stars.

But when a friend from the Marines commits suicide, Ash returns to civilization to help the man’s widow with some home repairs. Under her dilapidated porch, he finds more than he bargained for: the largest, ugliest, meanest dog he’s ever encountered...and a Samsonite suitcase stuffed with cash and explosives.

As Ash begins to investigate this unexpected discovery, he finds himself at the center of a plot that is far larger than he could have imagined...and it may lead straight back to the world he thought he’d left for good.

    Nick does a great job of making a war veteran superhero, who is still very human and struggles with real weaknesses
  • Implausible by any definition

    Interesting story for a few pages. A damaged vet, living with PTSD. The break down for me occurs during a shoot out. Mr. Ash drills an ambusher in the middle of the forehead, at 50 feet with a 1911 Colt .45, while under 7.62 x39 auto fire, at night no less. Been a Colt fanatic for 50 years and this is next to impossible, Bob Lee would have a tough time pulling this off. The rest of the book may be excellent, however I won’t read any more about Peter Ash. I like my fiction to be accurate, at least when it comes to firearms.
  • fast and fun read!
