"Peter Ash came home from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with only one souvenir: what he calls his 'white static,' a crackling claustrophobia from post-traumatic stress that has driven him into the mountains, to sleep under the stars. But when a friend from the Marines commits suicide, Peter returns to civilization to help the man's widow with some home repairs. Under her dilapidated porch, he finds more than he bargained for: the largest, ugliest, meanest dog he's even encountered, and a Samsonite suitcase stuffed with cash and explosives.
As peter begins to investigate this unexpected discovery, he finds himself at the center of a plot that is far larger than he could have imagined - and it may lead straight back to the world he thought he'd left for good. A relentless page-turner with nail-biting tension and complex characters that leap off the page, 'The Drifter' marks the arrival of a stunning new voice in crime fiction." -- Back cover
