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...

- The Bodyguard
- The Greatest Trick of All
