A gripping thriller from Lloyd Devereux Richards 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?

‘Lloyd Devereux Richards does it again. I can’t wait to read more.’ NetGalley reviewer

Richards mastery in the thriller genre shines through in The Runner, as he weaves a tale of suspense and intrigue. The procedural elements of the story, coupled with the detective-like sleuthing of the protagonist, make this a must-read for fans of mystery and crime fiction.

For fans of Bret Easton Ellis (Glamorama), Lisa Jewell (None of This is True), Ken Follett (A Column of Fire), and Cormac Mccarthy (No Country for Old Men).
