The Safe Box

About the Book

Sam West is a recent college graduate with his eye on the prize. He’s always wanted to be rich and spend his life living comfortably. Using his brilliant mind, he discovers what he believes to be a financial gold mine in the heart of New York City. Now, he just has to formulate a way to perpetrate the perfect crime without ending up in prison.

Sam doesn’t believe he can fail—not with all the work he’s done—all the research. He makes rules for himself and his criminal undertaking: no violence, no guns, and no mistakes. Nothing is ever perfect, but Sam is determined to succeed. He’ll stop at nearly nothing to make this a successful pursuit of what some might consider the real American Dream: lots of money.

He plots, plans, and executes his unique task of becoming rich. But is there a flaw in the machine? Is there a loophole somewhere in Sam’s scheme? He may be planning the perfect crime, but no amount of planning can prepare him for the unexpected. No amount of planning can prepare Sam for a series of events that could mean his undoing.
