Former Marine and CIA operative Nathan McBride has quit the game. He's a civilian now. He and his business partner own a security firm, and Nathan is very hands-on with his work. When the son of a Federal agent disappears, McBride is pulled back in by the Feds to help track down two domestic terrorists.

Brothers, Ernie and Leonard Bridgestone are a nasty pair and have an ax to grind. Nathan locates the brothers and the explosives they've stolen, but the game isn't over yet. His investigation has taken an unexpected turn, and it's beginning to look like it's about ready to blow up in Nathan's very surprised face.

FIRST TO KILL is fast-paced and written to keep you on the edge of your seat. Even the unnecessary romance doesn't slow it down. Peterson should make a big splash in the men's adventure market.
