Murray’s vivid portrayal of 1950s Manila immerses readers in a noir-tinged atmosphere of smoky bars, street protests, and shadowy deals.

With breakneck pacing, historical details, and characters that leap from the page, No Safe Place to Hide is an addictive read that will keep readers guessing until the very end.
