Reviews

“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.”—Publishers Weekly

More Praise for Tear It Down

“Petrie's prose, vivid and almost tactile, is at its loving best in these jazz interludes, writing of a sound 'spontaneous, like water welling up from a spring'....This thriller is all about the thrills, and there are plenty of them.”—Booklist
 
“Nick Petrie is pitching a perfect game....[The] story is always moving full steam ahead....Peter Ash is fast becoming one of the best characters in the thriller genre, and Tear It Down is another must-read, can’t-miss thriller.”—The Real Book Spy

“A great series, with colorful storytelling and characters who pop right off the page.”—Raleigh News and Observer

Praise for the Peter Ash novels

“For me, no crime-fiction character has ever measured up to Jack Reacher—until, that is, I met Peter Ash.”—Entertainment Weekly

“Reacher fans, especially those who have consumed all of Child’s novels and are thirsting for more, will find Peter Ash to be a more-than-capable substitute. The heroes are cut from the same cloth, and their adventures are action-packed from start to finish.”—Fort Worth Star-Telegram

“I loved every page of this adrenaline-fueled journey. In fact, a beginning chase scene in the redwoods is not only breathtaking, it’s also one of the most original action scenes I’ve read.”—Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel

“Captivating...There are just a few really, really excellent fictional heroes who stimulate the imagination enough to cause readers to stay up until dawn. Peter Ash is one of them.”—Lincoln Journal-Star
