THE GRIPPING STANDALONE THRILLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF TIKTOK SENSATION STONE MAIDENS
He’s in too deep… And almost out of time.
Martin Gabriel is a runner for Ben. He runs errands. He runs deliveries. And now he is running for his life…
When a deal goes wrong, Martin realizes Ben isn’t the legitimate businessman he thought he was.
He flees before Ben catches up with him, unaware that Ben’s criminal network and the FBI are also on his tail.
No longer a runner, but still on the run.
Is Martin fast enough to get away from his past?
Running errands and making deliveries may serve as the basis for Martin Gabriel’s job, but dodging bullets isn’t on the list.
Author Lloyd Devereux Richards serves up a fast-paced thriller in The Runner. When Martin realizes he’s neck-deep in criminal activity, he does what is expected. He runs.
The problem is that not only does he have the FBI on his tail, but the criminal associates of his boss are also looking for him. A missing thumb drive, along with a missing Martin, equals a potential threat.
The story takes place over the course of a week filled with cross-country adventures as Martin tries his best to keep running. In a story where the main character is technically a bad guy running from other bad guys, it’s just a matter of time before Martin gets caught. The only question is who will get him first.
The Runner offers a fast-past thriller featuring a man on the run and his efforts to evade capture.
