War veteran Peter Ash tracks a murderer and his criminal family through the most forbidding and stark landscape he has ever encountered, in the latest thriller from the national bestselling author of The Drifter.
Nick Petrie is the author of four novels in the Peter Ash series, most recently Tear it Down. His debut The Drifter won both the ITW Thriller award and the Barry Award for Best First Novel, and was a finalist for the Edgar and the Hammett awards. A husband and father, he lives in Milwaukee.
"If you’re not already on the #PeterAsh train, jump aboard now.
#TheWildOne is a beautifully written novel, rich with deep, complex
characters, full-throttle action, and a superbly realized setting.
@_NickPetrie_ is doing headliner work.”—Robert Crais, author of A
Dangerous Man
"Nick Petrie's exceptional writing has earned him comparisons to
many of the thriller-genre greats, but The Wild
One announces that period has come to an end: Petrie is
setting the bar, not reaching for it."—Michael Koryta, New
York Times-bestselling author of Those Who Wish Me Dead
“Thrilling….A powerfully wrought addition to the series.”—Shelf
Awareness (starred review)
“This kinetic, breathless masterpiece illustrates why Petrie is
here to stay.”—Publishers Weekly
“Lots of authors want to be the next Lee Child, but only Petrie has
a real shot at that title. His Peter Ash series is every bit as
good as the Jack Reacher books, and his latest—the first set
outside of the United States—is his finest work to date. I read
this one in one sitting and was hooked from the very first
page.”—The Real Book Spy
"Novelist Lee Child has blessed Ash as a character who merits
comparison to his own Jack Reacher. What further distinguishes
Petrie's novels is the depth of care he brings to writing about
Ash's significant PTSD…The Wild One is also a love letter to
Iceland and its people…Petrie's novel characterizes it as a
beautiful and civilized country. If Ash must have a dark night of
the soul somewhere, he couldn't have picked a better place.”—The
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
“Nick Petrie once again proves himself to be a maestro, wielding
his keyboard with all the deftness of a master conductor’s baton,
in The Wild One…This seems to be the month for terrific action
thrillers, and Petrie is on comfortable, familiar ground there. The
Wild One is one wild ride that races along at breakneck speed
toward a shattering conclusion.”—Providence Journal
