    “Two women experience near-death waking nightmares in this lean, edgy crime novel . . . a thriller that should not be read alone at night” (Publishers Weekly).   Home should be the safest place to be. But when a man forces his way into Lisa’s house, taking her and her young daughter hostage, there is nowhere to hide. Who is this brutal man? And what does he want from an innocent single mother? In hours of torment that turn into days, Lisa desperately tries to stay one step ahead of her captor’s inscrutable mind. And as she does the unimaginable to protect her child, she wonders why the only witness to the attack has not raised the alarm . . .   Meanwhile, that witness is lucky to be alive. Having accidentally seen the crime in progress, Senta sped away in search of help—only to awaken in a hospital bed having lost both her memory and her ability to communicate. In Safe as Houses, Simone van der Vlugt delivers “a lean, stripped-down thriller that hits the ground running and sprints full-tilt to its breathless climax” (The Irish Times).“Van der Vlugt propels her double-pronged story along with a spare conciseness that has you flipping pages manically” —Metro, UK

    This is the second of the Treb Lincoln Novels by Bob Bitchin. 
    Adventure at every turn! 
    A small gray fishing boat loomed out of the heavy fog that surrounded the yacht, Rogue. 
    The name could barely be read on the stern of the large boat through the fog. She was a William Garden designed ketch, well over 50 feet in length with her main mast sticking over 60 feet into the air and disappearing in the fog. She had graceful lines reminiscent of the sailing ships of old, with her clipper bow and canoe stern. Heavy black accent and boot stripes set off the stark white of her hull, with black sail covers keeping in touch with her pirate ancestry. Her raised poop deck was highly varnished, and she was a stately vessel as she sat calmly on her mooring. A small anchor light was visible at the top of her mast, and she was alone in the bay, looking as if she had sailed in from out of the past. What happens next will alter the lives of Treb Lincoln and his friends more than even he could believe! 
    Content Warning: This book contains situations that readers may find uncomfortable, concerning, or triggering. These situations include a rape scene of a minor and an age gap between romantic partners.

    A DETECTIVE DUO WITH HEART AND FUR 
    Steve’s ripe for a new relationship—divorced, over forty, and still dusting himself off from a lamentable sojourn in prison. (He really must do something about his hacking habit!) 
    Tragedy strikes his neighborhood when someone murders Steve’s nice next-door neighbor, while she walks her best friend, Rochester. Steve’s the unlucky guy who finds her body and he knows, despite their differences, that he has to take in the broken-hearted pooch. 
    Once they’re both properly rehomed, these two form a detective partnership that’ll make you sit up and beg for more. Eat your hearts out, Spade & Archer—pretty soon they’ve got a warm and fuzzy thing going. Big furry forthrightness—not to mention heart—meets tech-savvy craftiness as they work their case. 
    In Plakcy’s capable hands, watching these two fall in love (which of course is the most irresistible treat on offer here) is like watching a time-lapse film of a flower blooming— it doesn’t happen too fast, and it’s never cloying. Instead it’s slow and satisfying, magical to the point of jaw-dropping even while absolutely expected. You just know you could watch it over and over again. 
    Both want justice for Caroline, and Rochester’s way of expressing it is simply to sniff out one clue after another in the hope his two-legged colleague can piece them together. Steve’s way—when all’s said and done— is still to bend the law a little, with the help of Caroline’s contraband laptop. And also to follow Rochester’s trail of treats. 
    Fans of animal cozies—and all cozies!--will find pure gold here especially aficionados of mutt heroes created by Spencer Quinn, David Rosenfelt, Garth Stein, and Laurien Berenson. Readers will want to sit and stay awhile. Luckily, there’s a whole litter of cases out there.
