# The Drifter by Nick Petrie (Paperback)

**Eight years a soldier**, Peter Ash came home from Iraq and Afghanistan with only one souvenir: what he calls **'white static'**, a buzzing claustrophobia due to post-traumatic stress that has driven him to **spend a year** roaming the Pacific coast's mountains and forests, sleeping under the stars.  
  
But when a friend from the Marines commits suicide, Ash **returns to civilization** to help the man's widow and two young children. While repairing her dilapidated porch, he makes **two unwelcome discoveries**: The first is a dog, the meanest, ugliest dog he's ever laid eyes on, guarding a suitcase; the second unwelcome surprise is the suitcase's contents - **$400,000 in cash and four slabs of plastic explosive.**  
  
Just what was his friend caught up in during his final days? Ash will find that the **demons of war** aren't easy to leave behind...
