Product Description

A young woman walks home by herself, the tapping of her high heels the only sound. At two o' clock in the morning, it's cold, the streets are deserted and she thinks she's all alone. Waiting for her, sleeping soundly in his bed, is her baby son. When he wakes the next morning his mother still isn't back. She's never coming back. Because the streets weren't as deserted as she thought. Three women are dead and Detective Inspector Lorraine Hunt is searching for a serial killer. In Houghton-le-Spring, it's Feast week, a time when all hell is let loose as the fair comes to town, and a frenzy of celebration and decadence provides a temporary distraction from the grim realities of everyday life.

'Quigley's gripping thriller, Run for Home, is a convincing portrayal of a violent underworld' - Independent; 'Fast-paced and overtly commercial, Run for Home is a modern version of Cookson's bestsellers' - Telegraph Magazine; 'A rattling good plot... it doesn't stop running until the final page by which time you will be breathless' - Newcastle Upon Tyne Journal"

THE UNPUTDOWNABLE NEW NOVEL FROM THE AUTHOR OF RUN FOR HOME

From the Back Cover
A young woman walks home by herself, the tapping of her high heels the only sound. At two o’clock in the morning, it’s cold, the streets are deserted, and she thinks she’s all alone. Waiting for her, sleeping soundly in his bed, is her baby son. When he wakes the next morning his mother still isn’t back. She’s never coming back. Because the streets weren’t as deserted as she’d thought.

Three women are dead, and Detective Inspector Lorraine Hunt is searching for a serial killer. In Houghton-le-Spring it’s Feast week, a time when all hell is let loose as the fair comes to town, and a frenzy of celebration and decadence provides a temporary distraction from the grim realities of everyday life. It’s not a good time to be searching for a stranger. It’s not a good time to be a woman alone …

Praise for Sheila Quigley

bloody fantastic
i have read books for many years and rarely have i come upon one where i have stayed up until four in the morning because i could not put it down the characters are so real i felt as if i knew them all this book seemed to jump out at you on every page the main character lorraine is brilliant so gritty and strong. The location where it is based really does mirror real life due to the fact the estate where this book is based every readercan empathise with as this type of estate is in every area of england. i read sheilas first book and thought that was good but in this second one sheila has excelled herself i cant wait for these to be made into films sheilas books have been likend to the prime suspect novels but these are even better, i look forward th the next one with anticipation surely sheila cant do better than this one i only hope she can i urge anyone who has not read this yet to put it at the top of thei list for must reads
weel done sheila keep them coming!
