Synopsis
Winner of the First Annual McIntyre’s Fine Books Mystery Prize
“Safe is a propulsive thriller that confirms Ryan Gattis as one of our most gifted novelists.” ―Michael Connelly, author of The Wrong Side of Goodbye
Ryan Gattis' gritty, fast-paced thriller, Safe, hurtles readers 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.

Review
An Amazon Best Book of August 2017: For a place known for so much sunshine and glitter, Los Angeles carries a rich tradition of writers willing to explore its shadows: Raymond Chandler, Walter Mosley, Ross MacDonald (the all-time overlooked-yet-not-underrated crime writer), Don Winslow, and James Ellroy, to name a just a few. Ryan Gattis is the latest to step into SoCal noir. Safe is a tale of two criminals: “Ghost” is a nominally reformed safecracker working for the feds and trying to stay straight; “Glasses” is a drug-runner and “cleaner,” younger and more violent. And when Ghost is sucked back into one final, illicit job, Glasses is compelled to defend his territory. Gattis’s strengths dialogue and plot, and his knack for style and language propels the action via alternating points of view, driving characters through deepening, darkening, and increasingly morally complex situations toward their inevitable fates. Safe might fall within a venerated and venerable tradition, but it’s all fun: fast, grim, twisty, and original. --Jon Foro, Amazon Book Review
