This thriller is pure pleasure … The Runner is fantastically pacy stuff, with more twists and reversals than an extremely gnarly cross-country course … Thomas is one of those novelists who would be spoken of in awed tones of admiration if only she weren’t so funny … Sun-soaked and fleet-footed … Thomas has a fabulous control of her tone and handles the jumps between thriller, action and farce with audacious skill' Sarah Ditum, The Times ‘[A] quirky exciting tale that takes in exorcism, dictators, high finance, con artists and marathons along the way’ Guardian, 'Best Recent Crime and Thrillers' He’s running for his life. And he’s running out of time.
