What to expect

Bloomsbury presents The Price You Pay by Nick Petrie, read by Stephen Mendel.

The gripping new thriller featuring ex-soldier Peter Ash by award-winning American author Nick Petrie. When Peter receives a phone call at four a.m., it's the start of a dangerous whirlwind that threatens to drag him and his loved ones into its centre.

The caller is Peter's closest friend, Lewis. Lewis has left his criminal past behind him, but when an associate of his goes missing from his home in upstate Wisconsin, dark secrets from their shared history may be about to come to light.

Peter is happy to help his friend find the missing man, but the only clues are blood on the snow and a burnt-out cabin. When the man is eventually found, nearly frozen to death in the woods, he starts to open up: about his own criminal past, a rogue therapist... and certain evidence that is of great interest to foreign gangsters.

Soon, Peter is in a race against time to find that evidence – and stop the bloodshed before it's too late.

The latest propulsive thriller in the award-winning series, perfect for fans of Lee Child and Jordan Harper.
