Denver, Colorado. Peter Ash is wearing an armoured vest, has a pistol strapped to his leg, a semi-automatic rifle by his side, and a large stash of drugs money behind him. It's hot, the static is buzzing and he's trying not to think about what happened last week. Ash is riding shotgun in a truck leased to Heavy Metal Protection, a security firm that protects cash-rich cannabis entrepreneurs from modern-day highwaymen. Just seven days ago, Heavy Metal lost an entire vehicle, crew and cargo, disappearing without a trace. Armed robbery? Double homicide? Whatever, Ash is there to make sure it doesn't happen again. There's no doubt he has the skill set for the job: eight years of hard-won combat experience and a nervous system fused on high alert – a crippling liability in civilian life... but a survival trait in a combat zone.

“I could really use your help,” Henry told Peter. “Maybe a week, two at the most. Just until I get things squared away,”

Peter didn't have to think before he answered.

“No problem.” He'd send June a postcard. Maybe leave out a few details. He didn't want to worry her. “Sign me up.”

Later, he'd wish he'd answered differently.

He'd have plenty of reasons.

But he knew he'd have answered exactly the same way.

* No, he doesn't rape anyone in this book. There are some passing references to times he has, and he definitely looks forward to doing it in the future.

From Petrie's 4 Peter Ash books so far this one is the least compelling. It is only action. I like his other books because the story is interesting, the steady crew - Peter, Lewis, June - are a nice bunch, the relationship between Ash and June is developing and the writing is crisp and clear. This one I read because I am hooked.
