Nick Petrie’s latest Peter Ash novel is “The Dark Time.” Investigative journalist Katelyn Thorsen usually shrugs off death threats. However, this time she’s told that if she doesn’t back away from a story she and her daughter will be killed. Enter Peter Ash – former Marine and current protector of last resort. Peter’s a man who’s always risen to every challenge, but from the moment he arrives it’s clear that the forces at play are more insidious and the stakes far higher. This one may be too much even for him. “The Dark Time” is also available digitally in Libby.
