Light It Up: 3

Product Description

Downtown Denver Colorado Peter Ash is wearing an armoured vest has a pistol strapped to his leg a semi-automatic rifle by his side & a large stash of drugs money behind him It's hot the static is buzzing & he's trying not to think about what happened last week Ash is riding shotgun in a truck leased to Heavy Metal Protection a security firm providing exclusive services the growers of Colorado's newest cash crop cannabis Legal in the state but illegal in many others the industry exists in a legislative grey area
- banks are unable to extend facilities to growers without breaking federal law Which means this is an industry that runs almost entirely on cash
- & an industry running on cash is an industry uniquely vulnerable to crime Just seven days ago Heavy Metal lost an entire vehicle crew & cargo Literally lost As in disappeared without a trace Armed robbery? Double homicide? Whatever Ash is there to make sure it doesn't happen again After eight years active duty as a marine there is no doubt Ash has the skill set for this job But his hard-won combat experience has come at a price a nervous system fused on high alert This is real damage
- a crippling liability in civilian life but a survival trait in a combat zone
