All this cash, it's trying to tell me, there's no way I get away with it. There's too much here. The owners of the cash will come looking. They'll come looking hard. 2008. L.A. is a city in crisis: there are no jobs, no money and no houses.

With lenders calling in debts and regular people needing help, only a few are willing to put themselves on the line to save them. Rudy Reyes (a.k.a. Glasses) is a drug-runner turned double-agent who wants to go straight and Ricky Mendoza, Junior (a.k.a. Ghost), a master safe-cracker with terminal cancer who's got nothing left to lose.

When Ghost steals thousands of dollars from the 'wrong' safe, owned by Glasses' boss, an L.A. drug-lord named Rooster, he risks sabotaging a deal Glasses has with the DEA. But as Rooster closes in on him, Glasses does whatever he can to keep his deal on track, putting his livelihood at risk, his freedom and his family.From the acclaimed author of All Involved , Safe is a modern-day morality tale, a bold, twisting and heart-stopping thriller.'Shoots you down a path that is fraught with surprise and insight, and you can't ask for more than that' Michael Connelly, creator of the Harry Bosch and Mickey Haller series'This is one of those rare thrillers whose characters will stay with you after the final gunshot has finished reverberating' Daily Telegraph 'A literary novel and a thriller with more twists than a DVD box-set . superb' Scotsman 'A gripping novel about opportunity, transformation and hope' Observer.
