Synopsis

When sanctuary turns to slaughter...

In the latest pulse-pounding Baker & Tate thriller, nationwide immigration sweeps trigger a mass murderer's ruthless crusade.

As immigration enforcement operations sweep the country, a seemingly ordinary ranch house explodes in rural Texas. When local police discover it wasn't a gas leak tragedy but an intentional explosion, Texas Rangers Ruth Baker and Aaron Tate are called in. They discover the charred remains of nearly thirty people - undocumented immigrants who were being held by human traffickers. What should have been just another accident investigation becomes a hunt for a relentless killer.

As Ruth and Aaron dig deeper, they uncover a network of similar safe houses across Texas hill country, all connected to human trafficking operations. But someone else has been watching these locations, systematically destroying them with their occupants inside. The perpetrator has found the perfect cover for his twisted mission to eliminate what he sees as America's hidden plague.

With each new safe house they uncover, Ruth and Aaron race to evacuate the victims before the Iceman can strike again. But their target is always one step ahead, leaving cryptic manifestos that reveal an endgame more terrifying than they imagined. As public tensions over immigration reach a boiling point, Ruth must navigate the dark intersection of human trafficking, domestic terrorism, and a nation divided.

SAFE HAVEN is a relentless cat-and-mouse thriller packed with taut suspense, forensic detail, and the emotional gut-punch that fans of the Baker & Tate series have come to expect.
