Publisher Description
Peter Ash must follow his closest friend, Lewis, into the criminal underworld when secrets from the past threaten everything they hold dear in this propulsive new thriller from the bestselling and award-winning series.
Lewis has helped Peter Ash out of more trouble than Peter cares to remember. So he doesn’t hesitate when Lewis asks a favor in return. Lewis has left his criminal past behind, but a former associate may be in trouble, and he and Peter must drive into the teeth of a blizzard to find him. When they discover blood in the snow and a smoldering cabin, both men know things are bad. Then they learn that someone has stolen notebooks full of incriminating secrets about Lewis's long-ago crimes, and realize the situation is much worse than they'd thought.
To save Lewis’s wife, Dinah, and her two boys, Lewis and Peter must find the notebooks. With Peter's longtime girlfriend, June Cassidy, they begin the search—facing ruthless and violent foes at each turn, including one powerful person who will stop at nothing for revenge. Will Peter and Lewis be able to keep that dark past buried? Or will they need to step into the darkness to save the people they love most?
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.
Customer Reviews
Wonderful read
Had trouble setting this book aside to sleep. Best Peter Ash book so far. Got to say that I got worried for a while and almost broke down when Lewis broke down in the car - I could feel his pain and despair. Very powerful book. Can’t wait for the next Peter and Lewis adventure.
One of the best
I just could not put it down
