The Wild One by Nick PetrieMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Nick Petrie is stellar and his Peter Ash series is one of the finest series out there. These books are well written with well drawn characters that you genuinely care about.
In The Wild One, Peter is trying and failing to control his PTSD from the war. Unable to escape from the dreams if people who died underbid watch, Peter takes a job from a wealthy woman whose grandson is missing with his father who is accused of killing his wife
who is her daughter. The real story however is that she did overed secret files that would prove damaging to the powerful in Washington DC.
The job is in Iceland and as Peter arrives it becomes quickly apparent that someone powerful doesn't want him to succeed.
The action begins immediately in this book with the scenes alternating between current day and 12 montgs previous where the child, Oskar and his parents, Erik and Sarah are in the throes of trying to expose the powerful. Much to their own danger.
In Iceland, Peter comes to find the relatives if Erik and Oskar and to see if they are hiding with family. The brutal beauty that is Iceland is on full display as is the powerful loyalty of family.
This book is not to be missed.
