Safe House

The Isle of Man is one of the most populous of the tiny islands in the British Isles, being approximately equidistant between England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. However, in Safe House (2012), one of the island's residents has gone missing, and a London-based detective, Rebecca Lewis, is brought in to investigate the case. Safe House is one of the rare works based on the Isle of Man and is a gripping and immensely violent book by British writer Chris Ewan.

When Rob Hale awakens in the hospital following a motorbike accident, he is informed that Lena, the lady he claims was traveling with him, does not exist. The lady he portrays is eerily similar to his recently departed sister - Laura. But has he truly envisioned her? Rob sets out to discover who Lena is and where she has gone. He is assisted by Rebecca Lewis, a London-based private investigator who has gone to the Isle of Man at his parents' request to investigate his sister's suicide. But who is Rebecca, and how did she know about his sister? Rob and Rebecca work together to solve the mystery of who kidnapped Lena. They discover that even on an island where everyone knows everyone else, everyone has a secret and that sometimes staying, and fighting is better than hiding.
