About this item

Peter Ash must follow his closest friend, Lewis, into the criminal underworld when secrets from the past threaten everything they hold dear in this propulsive new thriller from the bestselling and award-winning series.

Lewis has helped Peter Ash out of more trouble than Peter cares to remember. So he doesn’t hesitate when Lewis asks a favor in return. Lewis has left his criminal past behind, but a former associate may be in trouble, and he and Peter must drive into the teeth of a blizzard to find him. When they discover blood in the snow and a smoldering cabin, both men know things are bad. Then they learn that someone has stolen notebooks full of incriminating secrets about Lewis's long-ago crimes, and realize the situation is much worse than they'd thought.
To save Lewis’s wife, Dinah, and her two boys, Lewis and Peter must find the notebooks. With Peter's longtime girlfriend, June Cassidy, they begin the search—facing ruthless and violent foes at each turn, including one powerful person who will stop at nothing for revenge. Will Peter and Lewis be able to keep that dark past buried? Or will they need to step into the darkness to save the people they love most?

Book Review – The Price You Pay – Nick Petrie
I have read and reviewed all of Nick Petrie’s Peter Ash books and this one, “The Price You Pay” is probably the best of the now eight-book series. It is a real doozy! Whenever protagonist Peter Ash needed help in many of the previous books, he would always turn to his closest friend, Lewis – a former criminal – who never hesitated to help Peter whenever he needed it. But this time, Nick Petrie changes things up a bit in this story with Lewis being the one needing Peter’s help this time around. In this tale, Lewis asks Peter to help save his wife and kids from a past criminal associate who is seeking payback on Lewis from their criminal past. Matters get ugly and there is no way that Lewis can handle the ruthless situation alone. So, in steps Peter Ash – a magnet to danger and disruption – to help his closet friend resolve the unfortunate circumstance. The Price You Pay is a cleverly written tale totally immersed in intense violence, astute plotting, and planning, substantially developed personalities, and remarkable resourcefulness. Petrie’s prose was extraordinary. The story was extremely enticing and alluring. Peter and Lewis’ resolve of the occurrences was incredible, and Petrie told it so vividly. The narrative, the characters – good and bad – the uncertainty and the thrilling action were all exceptional. This is an amazing crime thriller novel of the highest caliber. A notable read that I highly recommend.

THE PRICE YOU PAY by Nick Petrie

Nick Petrie is a gifted storyteller and his latest chapter in the Peter Ash series, THE PRICE YOU PAY, delivers in spades. It grabs the reader from the first paragraph and takes you on a ride of suspense that doesn’t let up until the final page. This is the kind of story I adore, that adds detail to an immersive universe and explores the history of principle characters that complete the series ensemble cast.

As always, Peter Ash is a protagonist the reader can connect with, not a superhero, but someone you might know – even if you and your mates don’t engage in vigilante justice. A man of principle who struggles with his past, his PTS being a layer of his character, but not the sum of the man. But one of the exquisite parts of this series has been the whole of Ash and his confederates, those that complete him.

In THE PRICE YOU PAY, we get to learn more about Lewis, Ash’s best friend and frequent right-hand man. In many regards, this is a prologue story – how your past defines your future – that serves to better shape the backstory that defines the principal character, Lewis. It highlights the man, who he is and why, and by extension defines the friendship between Nash and Lewis.

It's a visceral story with a burning pace, and twists and turns a plenty. The environmentals are searing. Set in the Midwest winter of Wisconsin and Chicago, you can feel your fingers numb as you turn the pages.

I can’t wait for the next installment… which is what I said after the last.

Loved this book.

Part of series, yet standalone, too

I read through this in no time. Hard to put down. Nick Petrie does a great job on what true friendship means between Peter and Lewis and the lengths they’ll go through for each other. And how the past is not always over. What a great ride. If you are a fan I highly recommend

I would rate it ten stars if I could! Nick Petrie knocks it out of the park!

I have read all of the Peter Ash thrillers. And author Nick Petrie manages to top himself with The Price You Pay. This book is amazing.
The writing is superb.
But it is the story that grabs you. Peter Ash is a former marine who suffers from sever PTSD. For years Peter lived outside because of claustrophobia, which presented itself as static. Peter called it white noise.
In this one the claustrophobia has lessened. Peter is asked by his friend Lewis to go with him to check on an old friend that lives upstate in the woods.
Lewis is a reformed criminal who has helped Peter out of several jams. So Peter doesn't think about it. He says yes.
Teddy Wilson was part of Lewis crew. He took a bullet in the head by jumping in front of a bullet meant for Lewis. The bullet caused Teddy to have memory issues. To help his memory Teddy has written down every he can remember about the jobs Lewis and his crew pulled.
Now someone has stolen those notebooks. Peter and Lewis set out to get the notebooks back and find out who stole them.
In the previous books Lewis is a little mysterious we don't learn much about him. But Petrie really digs into Lewis's past in this one.
I can't say enough good things about this book. Get this book!

I very seldom buy books anymore, fixed income and all. But I splurged on this book. And it was great, the book really starts off with a bang and keeps on going. I don’t want to say more because of spoilers, but man parts of the book had me a nervous wreck.

Best one yet!!

I will tell you to read them from the 1st one, but you could start with this book and enjoy the characters just as well. Again, Nick Petrie has Reacher in his heart and a seal team leader in his brain. Loved it.
