Description

Lee Child meets Dan Brown in this outstanding high-concept thriller that grips and entertains like your favourite Hollywood action movie. Ex-soldier Sam Dryden was done being a hero. But when, acting on instinct, he hides a terrified young girl from a group of well-armed pursuers, his fate is sealed. Rachel can't remember much, but she knows she was imprisoned by the men trying to kill her. And that she is important to them. In Dryden, though, Rachel has found the perfect protector. But hunted and on the run, it's only as Rachel's memory returns that Dryden begins to fully appreciate the scale of the dangers they face. And then only one thing matters- Don't. Get. Caught.

Reviews

Patrick Lee is a huge talent and Runner is his best book yet - breathless, involving, smart, and completely convincing -- Lee Child
Pure adrenaline rush . . . an action-packed novel brimming with complex characters as well as genuine heart. Not to be missed -- Lisa Gardner
An amazing, high speed, hi-octane novel than moves faster than most people can read. Rarely is a story both plot driven and character driven, but Runner does this and more. -- Nelson DeMille
I'm going to sue Patrick Lee for giving me whiplash: that's how furiously paced this book is. A terrific cast of characters, unrelenting action - strap in and enjoy the ride -- Jesse Kellerman
