Safe Enough

The world's number one thriller writer introduces a cast of unforgettable characters in twenty pulse-pounding standalone short stories, collected together for the first time.

I was the guy who always found a way.

I was the guy that couldn't be stopped.

From the world's number one thriller writer, twenty pulse-pounding short stories are collected for the first time in one edition, complete with an introduction from the author.

Here are twenty meticulously plotted, intimate portraits of humanity at its best and worst, featuring assassins, CIA agents, gangsters, and more. A drug-dealing hit man unburdens his fears to a stranger. An overlooked rookie cop is assigned to the department's file room. A ruthless killer only kills bad guys. A methodical bodyguard quits his job when he's outsmarted. A military mission is planned to perfection...

Each story is entirely distinct. And with their economical prose and unexpected twists, each could only have been written by the creator of Jack Reacher.

The stories included in this collection are:

  • The Bodyguard
  • The Greatest Trick of All
  • Ten Keys
  • Safe Enough
  • Natural in Every Way
  • The .50 Solution
  • Publica Transportation
  • Me and Mr. Rafferty
  • Section 7 (a) (Operational)
  • Addicted to Sweetness
  • The Bone-Headed League
  • I Heard a Romantic Story
  • My First Drug Trial
  • Wet with Rain
  • The Truth About What Happened
  • Pierre, Lucien & Me
  • New Blank Document
  • Shorty and the Briefcase
  • Dying for a Cigarette
  • The Snake-Eater by the Numbers
