Light It Up by Nick Petrie

Light It Up by Nick Petrie

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.

PRAISE FOR THE DRIFTER: 'Lots of characters get compared to my own Jack Reacher, but Petrie's Peter Ash is the real deal' Lee Child'A gripping, beautifully written novel' Huffington Post. 'A stunning debut novel... The pace is like a sniper round, extraordinarily fast and precisely calibrated' -- David Baldacci

Nick Petrie received his MFA in fiction from the University of Washington, won a Hopwood Award for short fiction, and his story 'At the Laundromat' won the 2006 Short Story Contest in the The Seattle Review.
