Nonstop action at a machine gun pace. If you aren't reading Nick Petrie now is the time to
start.--C.J. BoxPeter Ash tangles with dangerous enemies and terrifying technology in the
newest thriller from bestselling author Nick Petrie. A man wanted by two governments Peter Ash
has found a simple low-profile life in Milwaukee living with his girlfriend June and
renovating old buildings with his friend Lewis. Staying out of trouble is the key to preserving
this fragile peace . . . but when Peter spots a suspicious armed man walking into a crowded
market he knows he can't stand by and do nothing. Peter does interrupt a crime but it wasn't
at all what he'd expected. The young gunman appeared to have one target and one mission--but
when he escapes and his victim vanishes before police arrive it seems there is more to the
encounter than meets the eye. Peter's hunch is proven correct when a powerful associate from
his past appears with an interest in the crime and an irresistible offer: if he and June solve
this mystery Peter's record will be scrubbed clean. While Peter and Lewis trace the gunman
reporter June digs into the victim of the incident a man whose face rings a bell in her
memory. As their parallel investigations draw together they're thrust into the path of a
ruthless tech thief an eerily cheerful assassin a brilliant and troubled inventor and a
revolutionary technology that could wreak devastation in the wrong hands. But for Peter even
more is at stake: this investigation is his only path to a life free from the threat of
prosecution or prison. Before the end he'll have to fight harder than ever before to ensure
that freedom doesn't come at too high a cost. . . .
