      Book Overview

      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.

      Dynamite author and wonderful storyteller.

      By TimBo, Verified Purchase

      I think male and female alike would enjoy this thriller-type book. It's humorous in parts as well. The Peter Ash character and his dog Mingus, make a great pair! I will read the entire series. This is the first of them. I'm very glad there are more!

      NOT Jack Reacher

      By LDL,

      This is an O.K. action/suspense novel. It is nowhere as complex or convoluted as a Jack Reacher book. It's fairly entertaining and worth the read but don't expect it to compete with Reacher. I've only read this one of the series; maybe they get better.

      If you like Jack Reacher novels, you'll love Peter Ash!

      By Rendezvous Reader,

      This debut novel by Nick Petrie hits all the action hero buttons without trying hard. I picked it up to read on an overseas flight and couldn't put it down. I even reread it once and now wish I had brought it back with me. Petrie engages the reader from the first and leaves them wanting to know what happens next to the Drifter. Strong characters that you will actually care about bring this story to a satisfying conclusion. I...
