Books on Our Radar: No One is Safe by Ellie Marney

There are some authors that don’t need a big pitch. You read the title, skim a line or two, and immediately know what you’re getting into. No One Is Safe by Ellie Marney is very much one of those books – and she is very much that author!

Ellie is especially good at writing smart, observant characters who notice the wrong details at exactly the wrong time, and No One Is Safe seems like it leans fully into that strength. This feels like a book you pick up thinking you’ll read a chapter or two and then suddenly it’s much later than you planned.

If you like thrillers that make you suspicious of everyone on the page, this might be one to keep an eye on. It’s out March 1st!

Dexter meets The Bourne Identity in a gritty thriller about the unkillable past, the first in a pulse-pounding new series from New York Times bestselling author Ellie Marney.

Simon Noone is a serial killer…but he doesn’t know it. Pulled from a river in Guatemala in 1982 with nothing—not even his memories—he returns to America five years later, looking for answers. He finds work at an NYC meatpacking plant and meets rebel ex-cop turned private investigator Nomi Pace. But she has problems all her own.

Nomi agrees to help Simon, if he lends his mysterious talents to solving a child kidnapping case. The two team up and make headway on both investigations, growing closer with every step. But when Nomi discovers the dark truth about Simon’s murderous past, he quickly turns from asset to liability.

Nomi contemplates her next move. Meanwhile, the weight of Simon’s deeds hangs like a dripping carcass on a meat hook. Were his homicidal urges erased along with his memory, or is there a sinister reason why his deft hand itches for the butcher’s cleaver?
