Finished because it was a gift. Entertaining merely for how much it defies physics.

I enjoy Peter Ash and the crazy things he gets caught up in.

Peter returns and of course bad things happen where people die, some by his hand. Lewis and June come in and help, btw how do you get a friend like Lewis? He has a lot of connections. The bad guys were somewhat predictable, but the plot with the drugs and money was interesting enough that you can overlook that. The new good guys (and ladies) were fun, Miranda was spicy, Steinburger and Sykes were respectable. I did not care that much for the ending or Big Dog parts. Big Dog was a nice character but his narrating parts didn't add too much to the story, just felt like it was dragging out the book. The ending was just BAM there, so....

I hope this is not the end of Peter Ash's adventures!

4.5 stars. Really good, fast paced and an interesting premise - how the cash-only nature of the legal marijuana business in Colorado has led to security businesses to safeguard and transport all of the cash generated. A bit of a ding for the ending - a bit more unwinding would have been nice to wrap up the loose ends. But overall very very good, looking forward to the next one.

When a retired veteran who’s been working in the Colorado mountains clearing trails gets asked by his friend and coworker to help him out on a different job, he automatically agrees. Little does he know that the seemingly easy task of transporting legal weed money from the growers farm to their clients is a dangerous mission. His truck gets intercepted by highly trained masked men and now he’s on the hunt to find whoever is behind this, because if he doesn’t, he knows his life is on the line.

This book held my attention the whole time as there were so many action sequences and different perspectives that made me slowly piece together how everyone was connected.
