“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.
