VJ Books Presents Author Nick Petrie!
 
Nick Petrie is an award-winning author best known for his Peter Ash thriller series.
In his latest Peter Ash novel, The Runaway, the war veteran rescues a stranded woman and discovers she’s in far deeper trouble than he could ever imagine. She is pregnant and alone on the side of a gravel road, her car dead. Peter offers her a lift, but what begins as an act of kindness soon turns into a deadly cat-and-mouse chase across the lonely highways with the woman’s vicious ex-cop husband hot on their trail. The pregnant woman has seen something she was never meant to see . . . but protecting her might prove to be more than Peter can handle.
Petrie’s first novel, The Drifter, won the 2016 Thriller Award and the 2016 Barry Award for Best First Novel, and was nominated for 2016 Edgar and Anthony Awards for Best First Novel, and the 2016 Hammett Prize for Best Novel. He was also named one of Apple’s 10 Writers to Read in 2017, and won the 2016 Best Novel Award from the Wisconsin Library Association. Light It Up was named the Best Thriller of 2018 by Apple Books and both Light it Up and The Wild One were shortlisted for the Barry Award.
He received his MFA in fiction from the University of Washington and won a Hopwood Award for short fiction while an undergraduate at the University of Michigan. His story “At the Laundromat” won the 2006 Short Story Contest in The Seattle Review, a national literary journal.
A husband and father currently living in Milwaukee, he has worked as a carpenter, remodeling contractor, and building inspector.
