*** Praise for SAVE ME FROM DANGEROUS MEN ***
'Pulses with daring and risk. Nikki Griffin, bookseller by day and private investigator by night, takes on men who hurt women and makes them sorry. Calm, complex, lethal, and fascinating, she’s the revenge fantasy you want right now' Taylor Stevens, New York Times bestselling author of Liars’ Paradox and The Informationist
'Action packed and razor sharp - Jack Reacher would love Nikki Griffin' Lee Child
'Save Me from Dangerous Men is one of those rare thrillers that draws you in so relentlessly that you find yourself getting kicked out of bed and reading all night on the sofa. If you’re a fan of Jack Reacher or Lisbeth Salander, you are gonna love Nikki Griffin. This is an outstanding debut novel to what promises to be an exceptional series. Highly, highly recommended' Douglas Preston, #1 New York Times bestselling co-author of the acclaimed Pendergast series
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Lelchuk's rollicking sequel to 2019's Save Me from Dangerous Men, Nikki Griffin, a Berkeley, Calif., bookstore owner and badass PI, investigates the alleged blackmail of the matriarch of a prominent San Francisco family that has made a fortune in the pharmaceutical market. The motorcycle-riding Nikki, who looks like "an extra in Sons of Anarchy," is tasked with tracking down a smooth-talking grifter who milked more than $1 million out of the family's coffers. But when Nikki finds the seductively manipulative con man and watches as he's forcibly stuffed into an oversize suitcase by a group of vicious thugs, she quickly realizes that she's stumbled across a much larger, and far more brutal, criminal enterprise. Nikki, with her brass knuckle vigilante attitude, is nicely complemented by a cast of over-the-top characters, including Buster, a giant mechanic with an anger management problem, and Mason, a kid sidekick with a penchant for note-taking. This breakneck-paced thriller—while straining the bounds of believability at times—is unapologetically bloody fun.
