Publisher Description
The new thriller featuring ex-soldier Peter Ash by award-winning American author Nick Petrie.
When Peter Ash receives a four a.m. phone call to help out a former criminal, it's just the start of a whirlwind which drags Peter into its centre.
The man in question, Wilson, is missing from his home in upstate Wisconsin. When he is eventually found, nearly frozen in the woods near his isolated home, Wilson starts to open up about many things: his criminal past, a rogue therapist, and tales of evidence that proves of great interest to foreign gangsters.
Soon, Peter and his associates are in a race against time to find the evidence – and stop the bloodshed . . .
The latest propulsive thriller in this bestselling and award-winning series is for fans of Lee Child, David Baldacci and Jordan Harper.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
History catches up with Peter Ash in Petrie's high-octane eighth adventure for the former Marine (following The Runaway). Awakened late one night by a noise from his kitchen, Peter finds his old friend, Lewis, in a state of distress. Teddy Wilson, one of Lewis's former allies in a robbery crew known as the Heavy Lifters, has been attacked. Peter agrees to accompany Lewis back to Teddy's cabin, where they find him alive but robbed of the notebooks that contained details about the Heavy Lifters' jobs—all of which targeted criminal organizations. After knocking a few heads, Peter and Lewis track down the Albanian thugs who took Teddy's journals, but not before the contents are emailed to a mysterious player who's offering a hefty reward for information on Lewis's old crew. From there, the race is on to see whether Peter and Lewis can identify and locate their foe before he gets to them first. Petrie nimbly combines small-unit action with cyber-sleuthing (courtesy of Peter's partner, reporter June Cassidy) and rarely takes his foot off the gas during the narrative's 400-plus pages. Adrenaline junkies will be in heaven.
