The Call Back: A Gripping Crime Thriller

“A gripping page-turner! I loved the return of Mickey Blake in this superb crime thriller.”

LAUREN NORTH - BEST-SELLING THRILLER AUTHOR

“The Call Back reads like Guy Ritchie and Antti Tuomainen got together to create a masterpiece. There’s action, there are questionable decisions, and there’s a black humour that runs through it.”

CHRIS McDONALD - BEST-SELLING CRIME AUTHOR

An actor’s dream job becomes an agent’s deadly nightmare.

Determined to go straight, retired safe cracker, Mickey Blake returns to the Midlands. He’s desperate to win back Hazel, the woman who helped him survive his last heist and rebuild his relationship with his son, Liam.

An obsessed police officer, a lowlife conman and his son’s deadly situation, mean Mickey’s new life is anything but quiet. With time running out, can Mickey and Liam heal old wounds to save their family?

Mickey, Liam and Hazel are back in this heart-pounding follow-up to Safe Hands.
