Peter Ash #8
The Price You Pay
War veteran Peter Ash must follow his friend Lewis into a criminal underworld when secrets from the past threaten everything they hold dear in this propulsive new thriller in this bestselling and award-winning series.
Peter Ash’s friend Lewis has helped him out of jam more times than he can count, and has saved his life more than once. So he doesn’t hesitate when Lewis asks a favor. Lewis has left his criminal past behind, but a former associate may be in trouble, and he and Peter must make a trip to check in on the man. But their visit immediately takes a dark turn when they arrive to find a smoldering cabin. They soon realize that someone has stolen notebooks full of incriminating secrets about Lewis’s long-ago crimes.
Lewis and Peter must find the notebooks: They are full of details that not only endanger the family and home that Lewis has built, but place his very life at risk. With June's help, they begin to search. Soon they find themselves up against professional criminals, and the two men may have to tap into the dark sides that they have worked to keep hidden in order to take on particularly ruthless enemies.

Woah, I can't believe it's Peter Ash #8 already and as always I can't turn the pages fast enough!
Jack Reacher's author Lee Child once said "Lots of characters get compared to my own JACK REACHER, but Petrie's PETER ASH IS THE REAL DEAL."
I have to say, Peter Ash may have started loosely like Reacher, but Peter is no longer a loner. What makes this series so entertaining besides the terrific MC is Peter's close-knit friends who are like family. They are always there when Peter needs backup and let me tell you he's a trouble magnet.
The Price You Pay changes things up a bit. It's now Lewis, Peter's best friend who's in the hot seat. Lewis has been a star of this series from the get-go. Lewis gets a text from an old associate Teddy that bad men were at his cabin and needed help.
The bad men tried to burn his cabin and killed his dogs (NOO!! 😭) Thank god it's off the pages, but still. They took a notebook which Teddy jotted down things he remembers after suffering brain trauma from taking a bullet meant for Lewis. Now, they desperately need to find the people who took it.
Love the pace and this was intense! I find June's character much more likable too. I've been complaining about her a lot and I think she's not as bossy anymore. This is my first time listening to the (pre-ordered) audiobook so let me know if you feel that way reading. I read a third but switched to listening. The narrator Stephen Mendel was terrific!
Highly recommend this series. The Price You Pay can be read on its own but I feel it's better to know Peter and Lewis from book one.

The friendship of Peter and Lewis has been cemented together with years of facing danger, never leaving the other behind and being there for their friend no matter what the cost. They were initially at odds with each other, gradually coming together like long lost brothers. Due to Peter’s propensity to help people in trouble there is always an equal and opposite reaction, mainly more trouble before resolution. That is one of the things Lewis likes Peter for… being a magnet to disruption and that makes Lewis feel right at home.
There was the bad Lewis and now the good Lewis. Life now revolves around Dinah and the kids. Peter had PTSD so bad that he could not sleep inside. His salvation is his girlfriend, who keeps him grounded, has gradually coaxed out the best part of him.
Due to a prior traumatic brain injury one of the Ghost Killers had written facts on paper that would endanger the identity of Lewis and his team. First the Albanians with an associated contract. Now an unknown specialty group in search of the Ghost Killers. They will have to reach the top person, who initiated the contract, to get their lives back.
This is a remarkable read that I could not put down. My advice is to start at the beginning of the series. This will allow the reader to watch the development of the characters and their personalities . Do I recommend this book/series to my GR peeps? Oh yeah!!!

The days of suffering Post Traumatic Stress Disorder are over for former marine Peter Ash, but he still sees the dead and maimed when he closes his eyes. The 8th book in the series leads Ash into the criminal underworld when a favour he does with his friend, Lewis, goes horribly wrong.
Before turning his life around, Lewis was a criminal responsible for some major crimes, many of them would put him in bad with some of the worst fellow criminals should the word as to his identity get out. The problem is, a bunch of notebooks detailing his many misdeeds are about to fall into the worst possible hands, along with his name, address and other personal details. This puts his family at risk. So getting the notebooks back is vital and to do it, he needs Ash’s help.
The Price You Pay is a desperate action thriller that moves at an incredible pace. The odds are stacked against Ash, Lewis and their respective families as heavily armed men come calling to get what they perceive to be their revenge. But the real danger lies with the person pulling the strings of the attackers. Someone’s out for revenge and is prepared to throw virtually unlimited resources at them to get the job done.
The story moves along at breakneck speed as Peter and Lewis figure out the best way to recover the missing books, while also curtailing the possibility that their contents may have been passed on to others.
Unlike the earlier books in the series where Peter tends to operate either on his own or with another professional, this time he’s joined by June, his partner, as well as Lewis and his wife. This brings a whole new dimension to the task ahead of them, creating much higher stakes as well as a curious dynamic that ups the tension to even greater heights.
This is a thriller series that has successfully evolved as it’s gone along, developing Peter Ash’s complex persona as well as his relationship with June very successfully. I really liked the inclusion of June into the hustle and bustle of the front line and she’s proving herself to be quite the badass performer and a perfectly suitable match for an ex-marine such as Peter.
The stakes are incredibly high, author Nick Petrie has ramped up the action to a level that hasn’t been reached in the earlier books and introduces some new characters who help to give the ongoing series even greater depth and interest.
My thanks to Head of Zeus and NetGalley for a digital ARC that enabled me to read, enjoy and review this book.

Peter Ash is back in The Price You Pay. In this book we get some more background on his friend Lewis and what he has done. Peter is as usual involved by proximity. I have been a fan of this creation by Nick Petrie since the first book about this ex soldier turned travelling carpenter. There has been a couple of books in this series that I didn't like very much but one or two out of eight is not something to get upset about. I love the charaters and the toubles Peter find himself in and this one was really personal for him and Lewis. Great to find out what Lewis did before they met. I must thank Edelweiss , G.P. Putnam's Sons, Netgalley, kaye Publicity and Penguin Random House for letting me read this exciting story.

Whenever Peter Ash needs help Lewis always answers the call.–Peter wouldn’t be alive without him. Lewis–a former criminal of some repute–has turned his life around. I say some repute because his identity isn’t known but his crimes were. Lewis and his team would only target criminals who seemed to be above the law. Lewis ran his team with a strict moral bearing and non-negotiable rules of engagement and were feared by the criminally repugnant. Think a R-rated Robin Hood with a wee more violence and no Friar. Secrets don’t stay secrets forever and this one's a doozy. Lewis is in danger of losing everything he holds dear and can’t handle this alone. And there is no way Peter would let him. Repercussions be damned.
Nick Petrie changes up the dynamic a bit in The Price You Pay and it pays off handsomely. I read The Price You Pay in one sitting totally immersed in the mean streets of…Wisconsin? Never thought I’d say that.
Sure, this is a thriller of the highest caliber but it’s much more than that. It’s a redemption story. I dare say a love story. A your past doesn’t define you story. A story everyone can relate to. I also appreciate how Petrie takes a stigmatized condition–PTSD, addiction, mental health–and takes it head on. It grounds the story in reality making it feel more like “real life” despite the hail of bullets and rockets.
I love this series, Peter, Lewis –I love it all. Fans of CJ Box, David Baldacci, and Lee Child should check out Nick Petrie if they haven’t already!
My sincere thanks to G.P. Putnam’s Sons and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advanced copy of The Price You Pay.

4 Stars. This was great but not quite Petrie great. I don’t even know if I’m being ridiculous but these books are so good it makes critiquing them tough. Lewis, Peter, June and the cast of characters get better every time. This one was tough on them all. It will be interesting to see where the trauma of this one affects their future. I’m ready for the next one now. I hope it isn’t a very long wait.

Book Review
The Price You Pay
Nick Petrie
reviewed by Lou Jacobs
readersremains.com | Goodreads
Jump aboard this lightning-fast roller coaster—a high-octane action thriller shrouded in mystery. This is the eighth title in Nick Petrie’s series involving Marine combat vet Peter Ash. He has often been compared to Lee Child’s Jack Reacher character. In previous books, he has been drifting about while trying to cope with his PTSD, although he has a longtime girlfriend—tough as nails and a resourceful reporter, June Cassidy.
Although this is my first foray into this series, I had no trouble gobbling this gem up as a standalone, due to Nick Petrie’s excellent insertion of necessary backstory. Peter is closely affiliated with his close friend, Lewis, who in the past ran an elusive crew of closely knit buddies who went after high-end criminals who eluded the police. Lewis had a strong moral code: “You only go after people the law can’t get.” They often found it necessary to stray into gray areas in their quest for justice. Many considered them noble, but their adversaries referred to them as the “Ghost Killers”—their reputation reaching mythic proportions.
This adventure starts out with a cryptic text to Lewis from the previously head-injured crew member Teddy: “Bad men are here. Need help.” Lewis immediately enlists the help of his friend Peter. They endure and travel through an epic snowstorm to arrive at Teddy’s isolated upstate cabin. They find the dead, bloodied bodies of Teddy’s four dogs in the yard, with his cabin on fire and the front door blown off its hinges. They find Teddy hiding in an adjacent tree, unaware of who stormed his cabin but realizing they took his cherished notebooks.
Part of his therapy, post-gunshot to the head, has been a protracted course of speech therapy.
Recommended by his speech pathologist, Leanne, in an attempt to regain his memory, is an active exercise by creating notebooks in which he continually wrote down his past memories—in the hopes of prompting further recovery. Unfortunately, these notebooks ended up being a source of intricate details involving “jobs” in the past—names, dates, and details that could put Lewis, Peter, and the crew members and their families in the crosshairs of their past enemies… seeking retribution for their past noble take-downs. They have to get these notebooks back and/or uncover who has read them.
Nick Petrie provides an action-packed narrative that incrementally builds suspense and trepidation as he intertwines multiple plot twists into an explosive denouement. He utilizes a colorful cast of characters to enhance the intrigue, as they battle wits with a cold and calculating ex-CIA loner, Jay Streyling, who proves to be an amoral killer, who will stop at nothing. But, the relevant question is, who’s his boss? And what are their relentless motivations to extinguish the crew? Action scenes are cinematic and expertly choreographed, with the results always in jeopardy.
Thanks to NetGalley and G.P. Putnam’s Sons for providing an Uncorrected Proof in exchange for an honest review.

“The Price You Pay” brings back Nick Petrie’s well-beloved anti-hero – Peter Ash – an ex-military man who suffers greatly from post-traumatic claustrophobia from tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Promotional blurbs on the cover from Lee Child and David Baldacci certainly didn’t hurt either.
Peter Ash usually finds himself in the kinds of trouble that require the help of his close friend and ex-criminal, the mysterious Lewis. This time the roles are reversed. Instead, Peter finds himself being called upon to grant a favor when Lewis shows up in his kitchen at 4:00 am in the morning, asking him to take a ride with him.
It seems that a former associate and member of Lewis’s gang is in trouble. A man named Teddy who once saved Lewis’s life. After texting Lewis that bad guys have shown up at his cabin in the woods, Teddy’s gone silent. Peter doesn’t hesitate to help out his friend, a man who has left his criminal past behind him and settled down to a legitimate life with a wife and two stepsons.
As the two of them head into a Midwest snowstorm, things only get worse. It seems that somehow someone unknown has stolen personal notebooks from Teddy that hold many secrets, including the names of the Lewis’s gang and details of their crimes committed many years ago. Evidently, someone is holding a grudge and wants this information for deadly reasons, which means that Lewis’s wife, Dinah and her two sons at in grave danger. June Cassidy, Peter’s girlfriend, is also at risk from the dangerous foe who will stop at nothing to get retribution.
In order to save the ones they love and hold dear, Peter and Lewis will not only have to face a past that they thought was buried and gone, but find themselves stepping back in the darkness that reveals their true violent nature…
I wasn’t even six pages in and finishing the first chapter before I quickly realized how much that I missed Pater Ash and his partner, Lewis, Petrie’s own version of Spenser’s beloved Hawk. A mysterious ex-criminal who serves a key role, and that is being able to do the bad things that need to be done when our main character cannot cross certain ethical lines. Lewis serves this role well.
This book had shorter crisper chapters than some of the previous ones in the series, moving story move along at a brisk and fast pace. Petrie keeps things on point and elevates the tension throughout. Much like that of a Lee Child Reacher novel or a David Baldacci book. There was a definite rhythm and style that Petrie has developed with this series and characters, and it works well in this one, especially with Lewis, Dinah, and her two sons being in serious lief-threatening jeopardy in this one. It is on a personal level that raises the drama and tension higher than I expected.
What I especially liked was that plotline was more basic and focused on the characters and Lewis’s past, a history that many of Petrie’s readers have been wanting to pull the curtain back on. One that is both complex, emotional, and driven by his own unique set of values. In addition, the plotlines were layered and interesting, but didn’t require a lot of extra information dumps on scientific discoveries, IT breakthroughs, or complex legal or business issues in order to follow what was going on.
What I appreciated the most was how Petrie was able to create a seriously dramatic plotline that was both layered and exciting. He put together so many surprising twists and turns along the way that it felt an adrenaline filled roller coaster ride that never slowed down. What a reading rush it was. You have my undying respect as a master plotter, making everything feel fresh and exhilarating. Just when you thought things were going in a certain way or direction, then bam! Our heroes are caught off guard and thrown another major curveball by worthy villains who are the heroes in their own stories. It was the plotting that really drove the heart of this book.
I have said this in previous Peter Ash reviews, and it is especially apropos with this one. I am finding that with each book, Petrie is gaining creativity and credibility as a mystery/thriller writer and storyteller. I find one of his greatest strengths is in connecting several complex elements and plotting together in an engaging delivery and outcome. It made a head cold weekend a much better recovery than I had hoped for.
In “The Price You Pay”, Nick Petrie again shows that he’s done his homework, delivering a new spin on revenge novels in the thriller genre. He has taken the foundation that prior great mystery and adventure writers have established and moved the art a step forward. Although he is only eight books into his career, I believe he is making a significant impact in this genre by creating a flawed anti-hero, unable to conform to societal norms, and created opportunities for him to make a difference in the only ways he knows how. His moral code of conduct is eerily similar to such literary heroes like Robert B. Parker’s “Spenser”, Lee Child’s “Reacher”, and Craig Johnson’s “Longmire”.
I have become an avid fan of what Petrie has created, and have no problem going out of my way to recommend his “Peter Ash” series to others with a confident and knowing smile. If you haven’t read one of his books yet, may I suggest that you start with the first one and give it a try. I dare you…

Intense! I had to keep putting the book down to try and relax for a while. Did like seeing June and Dinah involved in the action. Hoping for a book #9!
February 18, 2024
Although Petrie is a solid writer, there is no substance to this book. Peter Ash's friend Lewis has a background of stealing from bad guys, often killing some if necessary. When one of his targets sends hit squads to kill Lewis and his family, Peter is recruited to help fight back. An endless series of chases and fight scenes ensue, with no character development or interesting dialogue. Petrie has a clean and engaging writing style but that is not enough to make this book an interesting read.

This adventure starts out with a cryptic text to Lewis from the previously head-injured crew member Teddy: “Bad men are here. Need help.” Lewis immediately enlists the help of his friend Peter. They endure and travel through an epic snowstorm to arrive at Teddy’s isolated upstate cabin. They find the dead, bloodied bodies of Teddy’s four dogs in the yard, with his cabin on fire and the front door blown off its hinges. They find Teddy hiding in an adjacent tree, unaware of who stormed his cabin but realizing they took his cherished notebooks.
Part of his therapy, post-gunshot to the head, has been a protracted course of speech therapy.
Recommended by his speech pathologist, Leanne, in an attempt to regain his memory, is an active exercise by creating notebooks in which he continually wrote down his past memories—in the hopes of prompting further recovery. Unfortunately, these notebooks ended up being a source of intricate details involving “jobs” in the past—names, dates, and details that could put Lewis, Peter, and the crew members and their families in the crosshairs of their past enemies… seeking retribution for their past noble take-downs. They have to get these notebooks back and/or uncover who has read them.
Nick Petrie provides an action-packed narrative that incrementally builds suspense and trepidation as he intertwines multiple plot twists into an explosive denouement. He utilizes a colorful cast of characters to enhance the intrigue, as they battle wits with a cold and calculating ex-CIA loner, Jay Streyling, who proves to be an amoral killer, who will stop at nothing. But, the relevant question is, who’s his boss? And what are their relentless motivations to extinguish the crew? Action scenes are cinematic and expertly choreographed, with the results always in jeopardy.

The Price You Pay
Nick Petrie

Jump aboard this lightning-fast roller coaster—a high-octane action thriller shrouded in mystery. This is the eighth title in Nick Petrie’s series involving Marine combat vet Peter Ash. He has often been compared to Lee Child’s Jack Reacher character. In previous books, he has been drifting about while trying to cope with his PTSD, although he has a longtime girlfriend—tough as nails and a resourceful reporter, June Cassidy.
Although this is my first foray into this series, I had no trouble gobbling this gem up as a standalone, due to Nick Petrie’s excellent insertion of necessary backstory. Peter is closely affiliated with his close friend, Lewis, who in the past ran an elusive crew of closely knit buddies who went after high-end criminals who eluded the police. Lewis had a strong moral code: “You only go after people the law can’t get.” They often found it necessary to stray into gray areas in their quest for justice. Many considered them noble, but their adversaries referred to them as the “Ghost Killers”—their reputation reaching mythic proportions.

When I think about the Peter Ash series from author Nick Petrie I jokingly think: "You had me at Reacher!" I was initially attracted to this series because of the handful of comparisons I saw other authors and reviewers make between Peter Ash and Lee Child's Jack Reacher characters. I was sold and never looked back.
THE PRICE YOU PAY is now the eighth title in the Peter Ash series and the action does not take long to start. Ash is contacted by his good friend and ex-marine colleague Lewis about a situation he is in that involves another friend of theirs. Ash as well as Lewis have been involved in many situations and cases that required them to not only bend the rules but also thwart the plans of some powerfully dangerous people.
It turns out their pal Teddy had kept a set of notebooks which outlined information about all the cases he worked on including those with Lewis. If these notebooks were to fall into the wrong hands, it could mean bad things for Lewis and his family. Ash and Lewis make their way to Teddy's place in the height of a Wisconsin snowstorm. Once they arrive, their worst fears are confirmed. The first thing they find is a pile of Teddy's beloved dogs all lying in the snow dead, having bled out from gunshots. This does not bode well for their friend inside the house.
The notebooks were indeed compromised and now some really dangerous sorts may be after Lewis and anyone he calls a friend. Teddy survived the ordeal but was badly beaten. Nevertheless, he joins Ash and Lewis as they begin to make the rounds of the scoundrels who took the notebooks. Their first stop is a young punk named Mika who tells them it is already too late and that the information was given to those who paid him to get it. The deadly group are nicknamed Ghost Killers and are not to be trifled with.
Ash has a network he uses for assistance and information with each case he works and during this one he reaches out to longtime girlfriend June, who is a reporter with Public Investigations, a nonprofit group of investigative journalists who are great at getting all sorts of information. He gets more info on the Ghost Killers and finds that they have an eerily successful track record that includes making people disappear.
The inevitable happens when Lewis' home is destroyed by the Ghost Killers, causing his wife Dinah and young sons Charlie and Miles to flee. They are taken in by Peter and June. Along with the assistance of Teddy, who is very much complicit with Lewis in what is to be found in the missing notebooks, they small team is determined to take this battle all the way rather than merely sitting around and waiting to be eliminated without a trace.
As a result, the last act of THE PRICE YOU PAY takes a dark turn as Peter Ash, in order to help his friends, must cross that line between darkness and light and go to extreme lengths. Without this, they stand no chance to defeat their foes and recover the information that was stolen from them which will remain damaging in the wrong hands. This novel definitely goes there with Ash and crew and redemption can be both sweet and costly.

This is not thrill ride on a roller coaster…. It is an electric Jet propulsion rocket ride! WOW! The Price You Pay ( also entitled Heavy Lifters) is due to be released in February, 2024. For fans of this series, I am sure readers CAN.NOT.WAIT!!! However, for me, The Price You Pay is a new foray into this series. And, I can not wait to go back and start at the beginning of the series!
I will not write a summary of the novel- readers can find the synopsis in the promotional blurb. I will write my impressions.
What a dynamic duo are Peter and Lewis! I realize Peter Ash is the main protagonist ( as the series is entitled) but Lewis plays a large role in this one, along with former cohorts in his past endeavors. The rising action doesn’t just “rise” - it skyrockets and the thrusters keep on and on and on , culminating in an explosive climax!
Although there is plenty of action, character development is well developed with dynamic, multi dimensional characters. That is a plus which sets a series apart: the reason to read another action adventure by this author is that the readers become engaged with the characters!
Thematic elements include loyalty, codes of conduct in “missions” and reconciling those with lingering guilt. The primary protagonist Peter Ash has PTSD from his experiences in war and the residual affects are explored in his character.
Needless to say, the pacing is fast and furious. The storyline is unique and complex. I look forward to reading the previous compelling adventures of Peter Ash and et.al.
I am glad to have received an ARC from the author, publisher and NetGalley in exchange for writing an unbiased review.

The Price You Pay was a very exciting Peter Ash book. Everyone was involved in this high-speed, action-packed thriller. The past comes back to haunt Lewis because a former partner wrote everything they ever did in a notebook, which turned into many binders of notes. In Lewis' attempts to get the books back, he embroiled his wife Dinah, Peter, June, Lewis and Dinah's children, and Peter's parents. Lewis has to open previously locked doors to his past, which he prefers not to do. But when needed, he reverts to his former self. He enlists the aid of his friends/partners from the bad days to go after the bad folks who took the notebooks and kidnapped his kids. Nonstop action. When does the next Peter Ash book come out?

"The Price You Pay" - written by Nick Petrie and published in 2024 by G P Putnam's Sons, Penguin Random House. "But just because you're done with the past, it doesn't mean the past is done with you." And it comes roaring back when, in a switch of the usual pattern, Lewis needs Peter's help, which he provides without hesitation. Back in the day, Lewis and his crew messed up quite a few players from the underworld, and someone is targeting them. But who and why? This was a wild ride that was so fun to read, non-stop action, the eighth in this great series. I hope there are more!

If you aren't reading this series, you should start now! Petrie's characters are complex and deadly, all the while being morally upright. Love me some Peter Ash!!!!
August 18, 2023
As a fan of Nick Petrie’s previous Peter Ash novels, I was looking forward to reading his latest novel. Boy, was I ever disappointed! It was truly a very uninteresting book with a convoluted premise. It is ostensibly about a stolen notebook detailing nefarious activities in the hands of the “Ghost Killer” who is out for revenge. Subliminally, it is about friendship and loyalty and takes the reader from 18 degrees below zero weather through various points east leaving a trail of murders in its wake. Also, not helpful is the use of words such as piezoelectric.
I thank NetGalley and Penguin Random House for the opportunity to read and review this book prior to publication.

Here's to another action packed pageturner in the excellent Peter Ash series.
This time it's all about Peter's friend Lewis and righting some wrongs from their past. With help from the rest of their adopted family they tackle each disaster that comes their way.
Fast moving, well written, great characters set in attractive surroundings. What's not to love!
Thank you Netgalley and Head of Zeus for the ARC.

Genres: Action Thriller/Mystery
3.5 stars
This is the first book by this author that I've read and I will read more. This author has the action and the suspense down. Those scenes had a great pace. He can also create interesting stories. However, some of this felt far out there. He likes to pedal a little too much in zero gravity. Fun? Yes! But I need some tethering.
The one thing that I missed was character development. The dialogue was a little too perfect and unrealistic. While I liked the characters, I wanted some depth, some surprises, some flaws, just something more. What I got was a whole team of do-gooders. Not a deal breaker but so predictable. So 3 stars.

you’ll enjoy this one.
I’ve read the previous stories in this series, though not required.
It was wonderful.
I recommend this novel!

Exposition clunky.
All supporting characters are reduced to archetypes or their professions with zero attempt at development.
The big man affected by head trauma who is likened to a bear is named "Teddy?" Really?
Climactic sequence is riddled with plot holes. Villains make decisions based on the underdeveloped notion that their egos are bigger than their defining characteristic: that they are ghosts that the entirety of US intelligence can't find them. Then they are presented with a seemingly no-lose scenario and get into a silent dick-swinging contest over unspoken rivalry and...what do you know? Their plot falls apart, and the heroes somehow survive CERTAIN MURDER.
The narrative pipe setting up the double-doublecross was about as subtle as a haymaker.
Used to love this series, but I think I'm done with it. As a Milwaukee native who lives within a quarter mile of where their house is supposed to be, I get a kick out of the references, but that just isn't enough anymore.
That being said it is fun to read a sequence and know every landmark mentioned like the back of your hand.
Might be time to let Peter Ash go. The reader can only really believe that all his friends and loved ones can survive clashes with armies of enemies for so long before its passed from unbelievable into the realm of annoying.

I loved every minute of this book packed with Peter and Lewis! When Lewis finds himself in a jam from his past, he calls on Peter for help for a change which was a great setup after all of the times Peter has needed Lewis' skills to help. This book is packed with action as Peter and June try to help Lewis figure out who's after him and his old friends. It was great to see Nino and Ray again after their brief appearance early in Petrie's series when Peter meets Lewis. I highly recommend this book and only wish it were being published before Christmas so that I'd have some go-to gifts already set to go. Thank you to Penguin Group, G.P. Putnam's Sons, NetGalley, and Nick Petrie for the early read in exchange for my honest opinion.

I really like this series. It always has good action, a fast moving plot that holds together. Oddly, I find it a very hopeful series because people face their demons, deal with their challenges and build strong bonds with each other. This is a great entry that goes a lot deeper into Lewis's life and story which was very interesting. Definitely enjoyed the outing and looking forward to more!
I received an early release copy from the publisher and Netgalley to review. The name may have changed -- the netgalley version is called The Price You Pay but this is The Heavy Lift -- synopsis and # in the series are the same.
