You Can Run

‘We have your son.’

On an ordinary day, CIA analyst Jill Bailey has her life turned upside down by the voice at the end of the phone. In a split second, she must decide whether to save her child or protect her country.

Years later, Jill has a new home, a new town, and a safe family. Until investigative journalist Alex Charles shows up on her doorstep. Alex has a tip that she knows could be huge, and it is her best shot of proving to herself that the sacrifices she has made were worthwhile.

When confronted with the stark reality that double dealing at the CIA is putting innocent lives at risk, Jill decides that this time she’ll face the consequences of her actions. It soon becomes clear that Jill was never free from the choice she made that day. Now, she is determined to uncover the truth once and for all. But Jill is about to find out what she should have known all along: you can run, but you can’t hide…

A page-turning must-read thriller from Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author Karen Cleveland. Unputdownable and perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Harlan Coben, and Chris Pavone.
