An Evening with Nick Petrie
Monday, March 23, 6:30PM
Join us for an evening with author Nick Petrie. He'll be signing copies of his newest   book, The Dark Time. Boswell Book Company will be on hand selling copies of his books.
 
Acclaimed and award-winning author Nick Petrie is back with another propulsive thriller in his bestselling Peter Ash series. At the suggestion of his girlfriend, June Cassidy, Peter rides to the aid of an investigative reporter who may have stumbled on a story more explosive than even he can handle in THE DARK TIME. This latest installment follows Katelyn Thorsen (known as KT to her friends and enemies), an independent journalist who receives a very specific death threat while tracking down the story of her career. If she doesn’t back away, it may quickly turn out to be the last story of her life.  

Fortunately, Peter Ash has arrived in town to look for KT at his girlfriend June’s request. From the moment of his arrival, he's thrown into a maelstrom of violence trying to protect KT and her daughter. Peter is a man who has always risen to every challenge . . . but this one may be too much for even him.
