About this book

Book Summary

Part Lisbeth Salander, part Jack Reacher, part Jessica Jones, Nikki Griffin is a kickass character who readers will root for as she seeks to right the world's wrongs.

Nikki Griffin isn't your typical private investigator. In her office above her bookstore's shelves and stacks, where she luxuriates in books and the comfort they provide, she also tracks certain men. Dangerous men. Men who have hurt the women they claim to love. And Nikki likes to teach those men a lesson, to teach them what it feels like to be hurt and helpless, so she can be sure that their victims are safe from them forever.

When a regular PI job tailing Karen, a tech company's disgruntled employee who might be selling secrets, turns ugly and Karen's life is threatened, Nikki has to break cover and intervene. Karen tells Nikki that there are people after her. Dangerous men. She says she'll tell Nikki what's really going on. But then something goes wrong, and suddenly Nikki is no longer just solving a case - she's trying hard to stay alive.

S.A. Lelchuk's Save Me From Dangerous Men marks the beginning of a gripping new series and the launch of a fabulous new character.

Media Reviews

"Starred Review. Terrific debut… This intelligent, action-packed thriller will resonate with readers as it touches on such themes as domestic violence, the widening gap between rich and poor, and the intrusive potential of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence...But the book's real appeal stems from its powerful, distinctive protagonist." - Publishers Weekly

"Starred Review. Nikki's fight scenes are satisfying, clever, and exciting ... Bookworms will love the references to classic novels, and Lelchuk winks at Nikki's similarities to a certain well-known literary vigilante. A timely and totally badass debut." - Kirkus

"An outstanding debut...If you're a fan of Jack Reacher or Lisbeth Salander, you are gonna love Nikki Griffin." - New York Times bestselling author Douglas Preston

"Action packed and razor sharp - Jack Reacher would love Nikki Griffin." - Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Past Tense

"An ass-kicking book lover who likes to teach bad men a lesson. Mean, lean prose that evokes the noir greats but with a thoroughly modern, feminist twist. A propulsive plot that will keep you turning the pages. Seriously - what's not to like? " - Lisa Unger, New York Times bestselling author of Under My Skin

"Calm, complex, lethal, and fascinating, she's the revenge fantasy you want right now." - Taylor Stevens, New York Times bestselling author of Liars' Paradox and The Informationist
