War veteran Peter Ash must infiltrate a doomsday cult in this crime thriller from award-winning author Nick Petrie.

When Peter Ash's friend June Cassidy asks him for a deeply personal favour, it leads him into the murderous depths of a sinister organisation. A journalist - a close friend of June's - has been receiving serious death threats, threats which extend to her teenage daughter. Peter must leave Wisconsin for Washington, heading to Seattle to make sure both mother and daughter are safe.

When aspects of the threats, already credible, prove true, Peter must dig deep to discover the perpetrators. His search reveals a doomsday cult led by a shadowy figure with a death-wish to cause untold mayhem.

The Dark Time explores whether Peter is willing to face the ultimate sacrifice to save innocent people. But will one man be enough to stop the carnage?
