In the fourth edge-of-your-seat adventure from bestselling author Nick Petrie, Peter Ash pursues one case – and stumbles into another – in the City of the Blues.
Peter Ash came home from fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan with only one souvenir: crippling claustrophobia due to PTSD. He always needs to be on the move, to have a purpose.
So when war correspondent Wanda Wyatt is in trouble, Peter jumps at the chance to go to her aid. He arrives in Memphis to find that a truck has been driven into Wanda's house. Someone is clearly determined to drive her from her home by any means necessary. But why?
Before he can investigate, Peter finds himself held at gunpoint. Caught between gangsters and whoever is threatening Wanda, he will need his special skills more than ever if he's going to save innocent lives...

      Thriller Award winner Petrie’s gripping fourth Peter Ash novel (after 2018’s Light It Up) takes the war vet to Memphis at the behest of girlfriend June Cassidy. June is concerned that her friend Wanda Wyatt, a former war photographer who’s even more psychologically damaged than Peter, is in danger. Peter soon ascertains that’s the case when Wanda’s ramshackle home is bulldozed by a garbage truck. Wanda refuses to vacate the ruined house even after a nighttime machine gun assault. But what do her attackers, two ex-con brothers, want? Meanwhile, 15-year-old homeless blues guitarist Eli Bell gets roped into a disastrous jewelry store heist by some fellow wastrels and goes on the run. When Eli steals Peter’s pickup truck at gunpoint, the inveterate do-gooder Peter decides to help the imperiled kid anyway. While logic sometimes takes a holiday as these dual stories unspool, and the finale’s high-speed car chase strains credulity, there’s no denying that Petrie is hell on wheels at mounting lethal action face-offs. A close cousin to Lee Childs’s more analytical Jack Reacher, Peter Ash is one of today’s more exciting action heroes. Author tour. Agent: Barbara Poelle, Irene Goodman Literary.
