Steinberg, Richard: Nobody's Safe, New York, NY, U.S.A. Doubleday 1999
ISBN: 0385492588 Fine

Toronto, ON, Canada: Doubleday Canada, Limited, 1999. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. First Edition. ISBN:0385492588.Master-thief Greg Picaro, one of the world's top "safe men", is proud to claim there is no safe, lock, or security system that can keep him out. Interrupted during a burglary of a luxury penthouse apartment, Picaro unexpectedly witnesses a murder, and soon finds himself pursued for the safe's contents, which mention a top-secret government project called "Majic 12". To clear his name and save his life, Picaro must somehow get inside the military's most safe-guarded facility--Area 51--in this suspenseful, genre-combining, conspiracy thriller, which is like a hybrid of 'To Catch a Thief', 'The Fugitive' and 'The X Files'. Author Steinberg is himself an expert in security systems, and NOBODY'S SAFE is at once a realistic account of safe-cracking, and an engaging and utterly original thriller. First Edition Fine Hard Cover 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
