Autor Ryan Gattisen Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 dec 2020
'A thrilling heist novel with a big beating heart' Paula Hawkins, author of Girl on the Train
'Safe is a propulsive thriller that confirms Ryan Gattis as one of our most gifted novelists.' Michael Connelly, creator of the Harry Bosch and Mickey Haller series
'Tenderness in the midst of stories of brutality, Safe is the perfect read to have in your suitcase' GQ
'A literary novel and a thriller with more twists than a DVD box-set make quite a combination. There is a lathed quality to Ryan Gattis's prose, which is reminiscent of Raymond Carver or Ernest Hemingway.' Scotsman
'No ordinary gangster cat-and-mouse chase . . . Gattis has created a gripping novel about opportunity, transformation and hope.' Observer
Praise for All Involved
'A symphonic, pitch-perfect, superlative novel. It is visceral and adrenalin-fuelled, yet tender and even darkly comic. It is audacious, unflinching and subversive. It doesn't judge. It swallowed me whole.' David Mitchell

Descriere
An electrifying, multi-voiced thriller tackling our criminal justice system
"The System took me back, powerfully, to my incarceration in the early 90s. Wow. I relate so much to this book, it’s painful. I could swear I did time with one of these characters in County. That’s how real this novel is. I had to keep reminding myself it was fiction. Front to back, it’s not just an incredible work, it’s an experience. Especially for those with no idea what it’s like to be inside."
-- Gustavo ‘Goose’ Alvarez, author of The Pawn and Prison Ramen
"The System is a tour de force that shatters all the usual categories: It is a page-turner, but one you will want to read slowly in order to savor every gorgeous sentence. It’s got bad guys and good guys, but you’re never quite sure who belongs in which category. And if a novel is magical when you feel like you know the characters intimately, and like them, despite the fact they are mostly people you would ordinarily cross the street to avoid, then Ryan Gattis is a magician."
-- David Dow, author of Confessions of an Innocent Man
