Her whole life, all Lauren Sykes wanted to be is safe.

THE ONE PERSON LAUREN TRUSTS IS MURDERED BY HER FATHER’S MEN.

Her only hope is undercover cop Petra Merrow. Lauren has no choice but to trust her. It’s that or die.

THERE ARE NO SAFE HOUSES.

A corrupt cop threatens them both. Petra’s cover is blown. She calls on DI Toby Clarke to help. But can he be trusted?

SHE’S ON THE RUN. TIME’S RUNNING OUT. WILL SHE EVER BE SAFE?

DON’T MISS THE MOST ELECTRIFYING THRILLER OF THE SUMMER!

Perfect for fans of C.L. Taylor, Clair McGowen, Rachel Abbott, Patricia Gibney and Mark Billingham.

WHAT READERS SAY ABOUT SAFE:

“A well written and cleverly plotted read with a fast-paced storyline, unique viewpoint and interesting characters.” Donna B.

Action-packed.” Amanda H.

“Lauren is a terrific character, brave, smart and very adult for her age . . . it's hard to put the book down, I loved it. Highly recommended!” Hannelore C.

Gripping.” Vikkie W.

“How strange it must be to be the teenage daughter of a crime boss. Knowing your every move is watched. Your only position is that of a useful commodity and if you stop being useful your father will kill you. All you can do is to learn as much as possible and keep your head down, even to the point of agreeing to marry an older man when told. This story is about what happens when she says no — emphatically. Read it in one sitting.” Aileen G.
