In this wicked debut, safecracker Michael Maven must pull off the most dangerous theft of his long career--or his friends and family will be killed. Safecracker Michael Maven' s latest job should be simple: steal a rare coin from a New York apartment. Except the coin' s owner comes home with a beautiful woman, who murders him, nearly murders Maven, and takes the coin herself, and then Maven' s life gets really complicated: the woman' s boss, a sadistic drug lord, forces him to take on a far more dangerous job. If Maven fails to crack the safe of a rival cartel boss in Miami, his friends and family will die. If he succeeds, he might. Which means he not only has to somehow pull off an impossible heist, but also outwit two crime bosses as well as his reluctant new partner - the woman who started it all. Ryan Wick hits the right combination in Safecracker, unlocking a fast-paced, action-packed, cinematic thriller, the first in a new series.

A knockout cast of characters, a killer sense of place, and a scope that' s truly cinematic in the best way. A hell of a fun read. --William Boyle, author of A Friend Is a Gift You Give Yourself, The Lonely Witness, and Gravesend Ryan Wick is old school tough with a new school edge. Ruthless and fast paced, Safecracker is an instant crime classic that puts Wick solidly alongside giants of the genre. Maven is the rightful heir to Richard Stark' s Parker. - John C. Foster, author of Mr. White & the IsleRyan Wick is an authentic new voice in the crime fiction genre. Safecracker grabs you from the first sentence and keeps up a page-turning pace right to the end.

Once I picked it up, I could not put it down. --Mark Sullivan, bestselling author of Beneath a Scarlet SkySafecracker is a blisteringly original slice of contemporary noir as channeled through both Donald Westlake and his alter ego Richard Stark. Ryan Wick' s sterling crime thriller, also reminiscent of Lawrence Block and George Higgins at their level best, is part heist story and part cat-and-mouse game with a clock ticking loudly in the background. A wise and wonderful tale distinguished by razor-sharp dialogue and spot-on narration, Safecracker is a must for all readers who like their crime stories done fast and hard. --Jon Land, USA Today bestselling author of the Murder, She Wrote series
