Synopsis

When an army-vet-turned-safecracker is forcibly recruited to be part of a dangerous heist, she'll need all her skills to get out alive in this fast-paced thriller.

Nearly a decade after getting chased out of the Army for fighting back against abuse, Monna Locke's skill and discretion have made her the go-to safecracker for Los Angeles clients who need vaults opened and no questions asked. When a lawyer hires her to retrieve a box from his client's mansion, it seems like an easy payday—until she opens the safe and is immediately attacked by heavily-armed men.

Locke barely escapes and returns to her isolated cabin only to find the client waiting in her home, threatening what she holds most dear: her son, Evan. After being knocked unconscious, she wakes up across the country, trapped in her own personal nightmare: she and Evan will be held captive until she helps a seedy crew pull off a seemingly impossible heist.

Forced to practice breaking into the most impenetrable safe ever designed, Locke bides her time and eyes her escape routes. She knows there's no way to finish the job she's been forced into, but it's either crack the lock, or lose everything.

Goodreads review by Jon

Pretty solid action movie about an ex-military safecracker being kidnapped and forced to crack heavy-duty safes for terrorist baddies in order to protect their kid. But get this, it’s a woman!

Fun With Locks?! 🔒 Book Review ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pretty fun thriller. I can't say I've ever read a book that had locks and safe cracking as a major driving plot point. For that you get some bonus points. I found that aspect fascinating. The book was definitely action-packed, and I enjoyed that. It would make......more
