The UK is gripped by the threat of gang violence – the media is building on that hysteria, convincing us that knife crime is rife and the streets are flooded with guns and drugs. So when a member of a notorious girl gang is charged with a brutal murder, sympathy is in short supply. Enter Lilly Valentine, a tough talking lawyer who is never prepared to take things at face value and is determined to uncover the truth, whatever the cost.
A gripping crime novel that will force every reader to reassess what they think they know about society and gang culture.

A dark and gripping read that will have you on the edge of your seat.
Unexpected and moving ... A Place of Safety is written with sympathy and humour.
Frightening, depressing and knowledgeable.
A leading lady surely destined for primetime.
