Tear It Down
By Nick Petrie
Reviewed by Sue Wilder
Ellison Bell, homeless and living with three friends in an abandoned "empty" in Memphis, embarks on
 a hastily planned and ultimately botched jewelry store robbery at the mall. Ellison survives with a bag of watches, two of the boys dead and one missing. When Ellison searches for a way to sell the watches, he comes up against the local gangsters who control illegal commerce.
At the same time, Iraq war veteran Peter Ash arrives in Memphis to help Wanda Wyatt. Peter lives in Washington state with his girlfriend June Cassidy. June knows that Peter, suffering from PTSD, gets restless if he stays in one place too long. She asks him to help Wanda rebuild a tear down that she has recently purchased.
Peter arrives to an unusual scene: a truck sticking out of Wanda's living room. Wanda is a war correspondent suffering from her own PTSD, complicated by a pill and alcohol addiction. She has been receiving threats warning her to abandon the house. Local police are unable to identify the source of the threats.
The two story lines begin to intersect when Ellison steals Peter's lovingly restored 1968 green Chevy pick up. The action picks up when the local crime network becomes involved and wants to avenge old rivalries. A search for an old inheritance kicks the action into high gear as all parties want to win.
Tear It Down is #4 in the Peter Ash series.
Drifter, the first book in the series, was nominated for the Edgar, Anthony and Hammett awards. It won the Barry and ITW Thriller awards for best first. The character build and high velocity plotting are consistent throughout the series.
Mr. Petrie maintains his high quality storytelling with excellent writing, authentic locations, and fine characters. Fans of Lee Child's Jack Reacher series will enjoy Peter Ash.
Highly recommended for a thoughtful and action packed read.

The Burglar
By Thomas Perry
Reviewed By Gregg E. Brickman
The Burglar by Thomas Perry takes the reader into the homes of the wealthy the Bel Air. However,
 the tours don't start at the front doors. Instead, Elle Stowell, the young burglar, enters through openings only she is small enough to breach.
Elle is skilled at her profession, one she inherited from her grandmother. During one foray, she discovers a triple murder. Returning to the scene, she steals a camera she fears captured her entry into the scene. Then, she discovers she is now the target herself. When she sends the video to the police and nothing new happens with the case, she decides that to save her own life, she must solve the murder.
The Burglar is a burglar-procedural, as opposed to a police-procedural. The reader is taken through the intricate steps necessary to solve the crime by nefarious means. It is a fast, entertaining read that pulls the reader into the mind of the thief.
