The Runaway, Nick Petrie, 2022, G.P. Putnam Sons
Peter Ash is a war veteran with a serious case of PTSD when we first meet in him in THE DRIFTER, his 2016 review. In this, the 7th in a series, Ash's PTSD is mostly under control, but he still feels the need to wander.
Ash, who seems remarkably like Jack Reacher, is a vigilante. And like Reacher and many other characters before including The Fugitive, Ash moves from story to story and finds someone in need of his help. He doesn't seek trouble, but it does have a way of finding him.
In THE RUNAWAY, Ash picks up a very pregnant woman named Helene from the side of a road not realizing what a world of trouble he is letting himself in for. The woman's husband is a sociopath, murderer, and serial burglar of high-end goods.
Ash has particular skills, and he puts them to good use here. There is lots of action, and fans of the previous novels will enjoy this entry into the series.
