About this listen

When Peter Ash rescues a stranded woman, he finds she's in far deeper trouble than he bargained for...

Peter Ash came home from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with only one souvenir: crippling claustrophobia due to PTSD. After years of living rough, he's trying hard to get back to a normal life—one where people aren't trying to kill him.

And then he meets Helene, a young pregnant woman stranded on a remote Nebraska road. With no other rescuers in sight, Peter offers her a ride.

But Helene's angry ex-cop husband is hot on her trail. It seems Helene has seen something she was never meant to see, and for Peter, protecting her will mean putting both their lives on the line...

Critic reviews

"Lots of characters get compared to my own Jack Reacher, but Petrie's Peter Ash is the real deal." (Lee Child)
All stars

Not the best Peter Ash story.
Too much unnuanced evil, so less well balanced this time.
Peter, Lewis and June felt like a sideshow, rather than the central character.
Still brilliant narration and heroics for Peter, but the developing horrors were overdone.

Disappointing

The Peter Ash series continues to entertain. Petrie is leagues ahead of other thriller writers, and is a welcome replacement to a string of lacklustre Lee Child novels. I would highly recommend all of Petrie’s books

Another fantastic read from Nick Petrie

Another great Peter Ash story. I liked the dual timelines and the way the two narratives dovetailed together. Quite violent, and a disturbing study of a controlling relationship. Well written as usual by Nick Petrie. Looking forward to the next in the series!

Brilliant as always. Love this series!
