Title: Safe
Author: Ryan Gattis
Narrator: Christian Barrillas
Format: Unabridged
Length: 10 hrs and 21 mins
Language: English
Release date: 07-27-17
Publisher: Macmillan Digital Audio
Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense
Publisher's Summary:
Set in LA against the backdrop of the 2008 financial crash, this is the story of Rudy Reyes (aka Glasses), a gangster turned double agent who wants out of the high-stakes, high-risk criminal life, and Ricky Mendoza Jr (aka Ghost), a DEA safecracker with terminal cancer who's got nothing to lose.
When Ghost goes rogue and steals thousands of dollars from a safe that belongs to Rooster, an LA crime lord who happens to be Glasses' boss, he endangers a deal Glasses had with a DEA official. As Ghost sets out to steal as much money as he can get his hands on - all with the plan to give it to those hit hardest by the crash - and Rooster gets ever closer to catching him, Glasses tries desperately to keep his plans on track.
Fast-paced and gritty, Safe is both a moving and human morality tale and an utterly immersive and heart-stoppingly suspenseful thriller.

THIS IS A GOOD BOOK. A THRILLER ABOUT THE DRUG WORLD THAT IS NOT FORMULAIC.
This novel snuck up on me. When I started it, I didnât know whether itâd be good or bad but I thought it would follow a formula: bad, maybe hopeless, guys in the ghetto; drug cartels and violence; dirty cops. But quickly, thatâs not what I got. Or rather, I got most of that but I also got more than that. I thought I was getting Don Winslow (2005âs The Power of the Dog, 2015âs The Cartel) but somewhere along the way, though delivered In the guise and format of a typical crime thriller, I had read as novel of character and conflict, two men, both flawed, in opposition to each other even as in key respects they should have treasured (honored) each other.
The one is a thirty-something recovered drug addict, Ricky Mendoza, aka âGhost.â Ghost was lucky. His crime busts are hidden and he works now for a locksmith. His specialty is cracking safes. He lives in La and does it for the LA Drug Enforcement Agency. Back in the bad days, Ricky almost died. Brain cancer. But it was cured. In treatment with him was a young woman named Rose. She didnât make it. But he didnât forget her. Itâs because of her that he went cold turkey, got off the drugs, and began to make his life something worth living. His boss, his name is Frank, was Roseâs father, but Ricky has never told him of the connection. Now the cancer is back again. Ricky, now Ghost, knows heâs going to die soon: he intends to go out with a bang, helping people who need (financial) help but donât have anyone to provide it. Itâs 2008. Thousands of people in LA are about to lose their homes because they were lured into unsafe mortgages that no longer are good. Ghost plans to crack a safe âon orders from the DEA, itâs a holding cache for the cartersâand split with the money inside, which he will hand on to buy people time to pay off their mortgages.
But once heâs done it, thereâs someone on the other side. He canât stop Ghost but he intends to find him, take back the money if it isnât lost irrevocably, then kill him. His name is Rudolfo Reyes, and heâs nicknamed âGlasses.â When he was young and more reckless than he is now, police officers hit him across the head too many times and damaged, almost destroyed his one eye. That taught Reyes something about vulnerability. Heâs the number two man now in a major drug ring.
