Calm, complex, lethal, and fascinating, shes the revenge fantasy you want right now' Taylor Stevens, New York Times bestselling author of Liars Paradox and The Informationist

'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 youre 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.
