Deep in the outback, bushfires rage. Trapped with seven perfect strangers, there's no way out - and nowhere to hide...

When Jess accepts an offer to caretake a luxury property in the Australian outback, the isolated, all-inclusive solo trip is just what she needs.

But Jess isn't as alone as she thinks.

As bushfires rage in the distance, strangers start showing up to seek refuge. And as the fires start closing in, tensions in the group begin to rise.

Then, the phones stop working. All exits are cut off. There's no way out.

Quickly, Jess's guests begin to panic. And when the first person goes missing, she realises that someone in the house isn't who they say they are.

The danger is already inside . . .

Reviews for The Safe House

Faster than wildfire and instantly chilling, I enjoyed every moment of this scorching thriller. Ward paints a masterful picture, from the blazing bushfires, to the strangers within, every scene laced with mistrust and menace -- Sam Holland, author of THE ECHO MAN The heat jumps off the page in this ingenious thriller that pits seven strangers against each other and the unforgiving Outback. The plot moves faster than a wildfire with characters and landscape pushed to the extreme. An immersive read for fans of Outback Noir, Jane Harper or Emma Styles. * Jo Furniss, author of DEAD MILE * Richly evocative and incredibly tense, this atmospheric thriller kept me reading late into the night. As bushfires burn, the tension rises amongst strangers in the outback. A brilliantly menacing story not to be missed. * Eleanor Ray, author of IN STRANGERS' HOUSES (The Lena Szarka Mysteries) * What a ride! This is a writer at the absolute top of his game. Cunning, claustrophobic and irrepressible, this white-hot outback thriller builds with blistering pace and doesn't let up. As intense as a bushfire and every bit as devastating. Every copy should come with oven gloves. * Kate Simants, author of LOCK ME IN * Praise for the author * - * Fast-paced, gripping and intense -- T.M. Logan A fabulous, action-packed adventure -- Jo Spain Twisty, compelling and incredibly pacy...will keep you on the edge of your seat from the first page to the last * Phoebe Morgan * A fantastic, full throttle thriller that never takes its foot off the accelerator -- John Marrs I tore through this perfectly plotted tale of secrets and lies * Victoria Selman * A hugely enjoyable and original thriller. Cameron's going to be one to watch * Simon Kernick *
