Safe

A Novel

By: Ryan Gattis

Narrated by: Christian Barillas

Ryan Gattis' gritty, fast-paced thriller, Safe, hurtles listeners toward a shocking conclusion that asks the toughest question of all: How far would you go to protect the ones you love?

Ricky 'Ghost' Mendoza Jr. is trying to be good. In recovery and working as a freelance safecracker for the DEA, the FBI, and any other government agency willing to pay him, Ghost is determined to live clean for the rest of his days. And maybe he could, if the most important person in his life hadn't gotten into serious financial trouble. To fix it, all Ghost has to do is crack a safe and steal drug money from under the noses of the gangs and the feds without getting caught. Or killed.

Rudy 'Glasses' Reyes runs drugs and cleans up messes for the baddest of bad men. When Ghost hits one of his safes, Glasses must hunt him down or be held accountable. But Glasses is worried about more than just money. The heist puts everything in his life at risk - his livelihood, his freedom, even his family.

It doesn't get any better than this!

A great book makes you want to play hooky from work, from everything except hearing the next words coming from the writer. Safe is that book. At times I laughed out loud, started to tear up, and was truly sad when it ended what seemed way too soon. The writing, the way characters were fleshed out until they almost stood in front of your eyes, was magnificent. I can't wait to read his next book and may have to listen to this one more time- it was that good!

Great writing

This book had terrific writing and a really fun story. I enjoyed the character’s connections to another of the author’s books. Definitely worth the read!
