Description

"Petrie has a preternatural talent for ratcheting up suspense."--New York Times Book Review
 
When Peter Ash rescues a stranded woman, he finds she’s in far deeper trouble than he could ever imagine in the powerful new thriller in this bestselling and award-winning series.

War veteran Peter Ash is driving through northern Nebraska when he encounters a young pregnant woman alone on a gravel road, her car dead. Peter offers her a lift, but what begins as an act of kindness soon turns into a deadly cat-and-mouse chase across the lonely highways with the woman’s vicious ex-cop husband hot on their trail. The pregnant woman has seen something she was never meant to see . . . but protecting her might prove to be more than Peter can handle.
 
In order to save the woman and himself, Peter must use everything he has learned during his time as a Marine, including his knowledge of human nature, in order to escape a ruthless killer with instincts and skills that match—and perhaps exceed—Peter’s own.

    Slow start. Redundant action episodes. Not up to previous offerings. Doubt I’ll read the next.
  • Darker than normal

    Good book in the series. Got my attention from the start. Would have liked more of Peter, Lewis, and June but the story was fast paced. Dark and sad because things like this actually happen. Looking forward to the next in the series.

    A finale near what little is left of what little there was of Circle, Montana? My parents were born there, met there, my earliest summers spent there. I never expected to see its name in writing again, especially penned by one of my favorite authors. This book is exceptionally well-written, from the “hook” of the story, to technical precision, to the high-art necessary to show subtle psychological evolution in characters without seeming contrived, stereotypical, or “breaking the fourth wall.”

    I’ve read all of the Peter Ashe books. They move like a speeding freight train from start to finish. Having been a Veteran Service Officer for many years it still saddens me how many vets won’t reach out for the help available to them. Here in Iowa there is a Veterans Affairs office in every county. If you are suffering or injured from your time in service please reach out to them
  • The runaway was one of the best books I’ve read in a while.
