“LOTS OF CHARACTERS GET COMPARED TO MY OWN JACK REACHER, BUT PETRIE'S PETER ASH IS THE REAL DEAL.”—Lee Child

*An Entertainment Weekly Must List Pick

In the new novel featuring war veteran Peter Ash, “an action hero of the likes of Jack Reacher or Jason Bourne” (Lincoln Journal-Star), Ash has a woman’s life in his hands—and her mystery is stranger than he could ever imagine.

War veteran Peter Ash sought peace and quiet among the towering redwoods of northern California, but the trip isn’t quite the balm he’d hoped for. The dense forest and close fog cause his claustrophobia to buzz and spark, and then he stumbles upon a grizzly, long thought to have vanished from this part of the country. In a fight of man against bear, Peter doesn’t favor his odds, so he makes a strategic retreat up a nearby sapling.

There, he finds something strange: a climbing rope, affixed to a distant branch above. It leads to another, and another, up through the giant tree canopy, and ending at a hanging platform. On the platform is a woman on the run. From below them come the sounds of men and gunshots.

Just days ago, investigative journalist June Cassidy escaped a kidnapping by the men who are still on her trail. She suspects they’re after something belonging to her mother, a prominent software designer who recently died in an accident. June needs time to figure out what’s going on, and help from someone with Peter’s particular set of skills.

Only one step ahead of their pursuers, Peter and June must race to unravel this peculiar mystery. What they find leads them to an eccentric recluse, a shadowy pseudo-military organization, and an extraordinary tool that may change the modern world forever.

Great

I have always loved the Jack Reacher series now I've found a similar one. Ash is not Reacher but I do love the differences. Take a chance I did and was pleasantly surprised.

Great story

Liked the storyline, this author just keeps drawing me in! I will continue to follow his work.

Great series

Love this series, the first two were great! Can’t wait to start the next one.

Another winner

I’m really enjoying the characters Peter and Lewis, I love the troubles they get in and out of working together. I can’t wait to start listening to the next book.

Immersing

Peter Ash series, book 2, is outstanding. The adventures and thrills keep coming, and also a new character, June, is brought into the novel. Peter has his hands full with trying to protect his new lady friend, stay alive himself, and continue to deal with his PTSD. I binged through this book just as I did the first one. The characters are bright and fun. Stephen Mendel continues to deliver as narrator. Autor, Nick Petrie, keeps it exciting and fun and has become one of my favorite authors.
