ReviewsPraise for Thomas Perry "Thomas Perry is, quite simply, brilliant. And as each book comes out he becomes more so."--Robert B. Parker "Nobody writes thrillers like Thomas Perry . . . His books are unpredictable, action-packed, and fueled by a cynical wit and observant eye for detail."-- San Francisco Chronicle "Perry is so skillful with the old chase-and-pursuit routine, creates such interesting characters, and writes about them so tellingly, one wants more immediately, not next year--right now."-- Boston Globe, Praise for Thomas Perry Thomas Perry is, quite simply, brilliant.

His books are unpredictable, action-packed, and fueled by a cynical wit and observant eye for detail."— San Francisco Chronicle Perry is so skillful with the old chase-and-pursuit routine, creates such interesting characters, and writes about them so tellingly, one wants more immediately, not next year—right now."— Boston Globe, "The sports and suspenseful action will easily draw readers, as will the gripping adventure's deeper issues of crime, class, ineffectual parents, and a teen's questions about his uncertain future." Booklist, ALA "Writing in a fast-paced, action-packed, but at the same time reflective style, Deuker uses fewer sports scenes than in his previous novels, and instead uses running as a hook to entice readers into a perceptive coming-of-age novel." School Library Journal "Fast-paced and suspenseful." Horn Book, "Deuker...crafts a suspenseful and involving story that tackles timely issues of terrorism, patriotism, poverty, and privilege."

But when a bomb goes off in the middle of a hospital fundraiser, Jane finds herself face to face with the cause of the explosion: a young pregnant girl who has been tracked across the country by a team of hired hunters.That night, regardless of what she wants or the vow she's made to her husband, Jane must come back to transform one more victim into a runner. And her quest for safety sets in motion a mission that will be a rescue operation--or a chance for revenge.Runner is Thomas Perry at the top of his form., Jane Whitefield--New York Times best-selling writer Thomas Perry's most popular character--returns from retirement to the world of the runner, guiding fugitives out of danger.
