THE SENSATIONAL AWARD-WINNING THRILLER “IMPRESSIVE AND PROVOCATIVE . . .VASTLY ENTERTAINING.” –San Francisco Chronicle It begins with a savage killing at a suburban Virginia juvenile detention center, but nothing is as it seems. Accused of murder and branded a cop-killer, Nathan Bailey becomes the target of a nationwide manhunt led by homicide Lieutenant Warren Michaels, himself a grieving father. What no one knows is that the real killer is a mob hitman, and that Nathan is his next target. Alone and desperate, Nathan has nowhere to turn for help but a sharp-tongued radio talk show host who has already pronounced him guilty to her national audience. Thrilling, violent and achingly poignant, Nathan's Run will touch the heart of anyone who's ever faced seemingly impossible odds. With a New Author’s Note “FAST, INTRIGUING . . . A CLEVER PLOT WITH ENOUGH MENACE TO KEEP READERS ON THE EDGE OF THEIR SEATS.” –Boston Herald “RACES TO A PULSE-POUNDING CONCLUSION.” –Kirkus Reviews “SEE NATHAN RUN. BETTER, READ NATHAN’S RUN. IT’S SERIOUS FUN.”

I rarely read mysteries or police stories, but I recently borrowed this book on tape (unabridged) from the library to listen to in the car, and it was completely successful, in my opinion, which is why I give it 5 stars. Not only did I come to care about the two main characters, Nathan and the police lieutenant, but the story the author tells was so gripping that I took a few unnecessary trips in the car just so I could listen. Even though I considered some aspects of the plot a little far-fetched, they were put together and presented with great skill.
