Bestselling and award-winning author Nick Petrie joins The Crew Reviews to discuss THE DARK TIME — the ninth riveting installment in the acclaimed Peter Ash series!
This time, war veteran Peter Ash heads to Seattle at the request of his girlfriend, June Cassidy, to protect an investigative reporter who's received a chillingly specific death threat. But what begins as a favor quickly spirals into a firestorm of violence. When the reporter is targeted and her daughter's life hangs in the balance, Peter finds himself hunted by a shadowy organization with plans that could plunge the country into chaos. Even with June and his best friend Lewis racing to his side, this fight may be more than Peter can handle — with catastrophic consequences if he fails.
Nick takes us inside the story, the craft, the blue-collar grit that fuels his writing, and the deeply human themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and what happens when technology's promise turns dark.

"Lots of characters get compared to my own Jack Reacher, but Peter Ash is the real deal." —Lee Child

ABOUT NICK PETRIE: Nick Petrie is the bestselling and award-winning author of nine novels in the Peter Ash series.
