Run Summary

Run by Douglas Winter

Burdon Lane has a run this weekend, with his best friend, Renny Two Hand, and two hardcase killers in tow. Working with Washington DC's U Street Crew, he's moving an arsenal of illegal handguns and assault rifles north along the Iron Highway from Dirty City to Manhattan. What Burdon doesn't know: the government has a man - maybe more than one man - inside the run. What the authorities don't know: someone inside has a plan all of his own. This is the story of the run inside the run - where no one and nothing is what it seems. Douglas E. Winter's explosive debut thriller is a streamlined tour de force of high-tech weaponry and urban violence, with a surprising moral message - a riveting, adrenalised ride through America's most brutal terrain.

Run Reviews

a first-person narrative told at breakneck pace in a style that grips from the off. Original, powerful and, amazingly, a debut novel. Five stars. * * Daily Telegraph * *
His take on racial tension is acutely observed and the liberal smears of gore and grit make this an addictive, and insightful peer inside the criminal world * * The List * *
Winter manages brilliantly to maintain intrigue, style and pace from the blistering start to the apocalyptic end of this 'something goes wrong' masterpiece...There are many good reasons why this book, its manner, contents and characters, should be reviled. But that cannot stop it being quite simply one of the best, most wildly thrilling crime books you may ever read. * * Scotland on Sunday * *
A breathless, runaway read which reinvents syntax and shrugs off body count. Visuals may remind you of Sam Peckinpah at his goriest or, more to the point, Chester Himes at his most apocalyptic. * * Literary Review * *
Run is like James Joyce on acid . . . written in a dazzlingly confident prose style. * * Crime Time * *
