A Safe Place to Die
New name. New life. New target.
A DEADLY BROADCAST
One live stream. Thousands of viewers. One very public execution. When small-time drug smuggler Sammy Bickle becomes the internet's most talked-about secret, DS Max Craigie inherits a case that was never supposed to exist.
A CORRUPT NETWORK
The trail leads south to Plymouth's port, where bent officials and a ruthless crime family have built a multi-million-pound smuggling empire – and will do whatever it takes to protect it.
A DEADLY RECKONING
With bodies falling on both sides of the border and leaks poisoning the investigation at every turn, Max must go deep undercover. In a world where organised crime owns the people meant to stop it, who can he trust?
Neil Lancaster
I joined the RAF in 1983 where I served as a Military Policeman for six years, in the UK, Germany, Cyprus and the Falkland Islands, mostly as a patrol dog handler. In 1990 I joined the Metropolitan Police where I worked in a number of roles as a Detective investigating the most serious of crimes in the capital and beyond. I was a covert policing specialist using all sorts of tactics to obtain evidence against murderers, human traffickers, drug dealers and fraudsters
Since leaving the Met in 2015 I have lived in the Scottish Highlands where I now write crime and thriller novels whilst looking from my window at the view all the way to the Cairngorms
