Safe enough: and other stories
(Large Print)
Description
Here are 20 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.
