Packed with humor and insight, Safe to Say explores the gut wrenching absurdities of life in corporate America. Set in the 1980's amidst the decline of an iconic company, the story centers on the eventful careers of two characters - Harmon Wolcott and Riley O'Brian.

Despite their differences in background, Harmon and Riley share the traits of intelligence, ambition and an aching desire for approval.

"Readers will find John Mordred to be one of the most appealing characters in fiction today." - Publisher's Daily."John Mordred comes alive on the page and is a character readers will not soon forget." - The Booklife Review.After a chance skirmish with an armed killer in central London, agent John Mordred ends up in hospital, condition critical. Six weeks and a full recovery later, he's persuaded it's purely a police matter, so one he should forget about. But nothing in MI7 is ever that simple. There's more to this particular incident than meets the eye and unnamed people in high places want it investigating. They believe Mordred's the man for the job. Add to the mix five missing IMF officials, the kidnapping of a top British financier in Venezuela, evidence of a related cover-up in Whitehall, a young and unpredictable London Lord Mayor with acute delusions of grandeur, plus - most bizarrely - persistent rumours of local UFO sightings, and things threaten to spin radically out of control. Suddenly Mordred's life is on the line again. This time, alongside those of innumerable others. And it's him versus the clock.
