A detective faces a horrifying choice between love
and duty in this hair-raising debut. Reminiscent
of the best in today's suspense-from Jeffery Deaver's
roller-coaster
twists to James Patterson's cinematic pacing-Run the Risk
introduces a
blazing new talent in Scott Frost. As one of the writers
behind Twin Peaks
he knows something about creating eerie and atmospheric
tension. In
this brilliant novel, he gives us a heroine who faces a
challenge no
one can ever be completely prepared for and a story as
urgently and
viscerally told as any in recent memory. Los Angeles homicide
detective Alex Delillo works a case that chills her from
the start: one
with too much ambiguity and far too many surprises. None of
the
evidence-and yet all of it-seems relevant. A small-time
shopkeeper is
shot to death. Then a rare, untraceable explosive ignites
in a
bungalow, hurling the front door across the yard. Finally,
a teenaged
girl goes missing, her car window smashed, her keys still
in the
ignition. Even before they tell her, Detective Delillo
knows that this
girl is her daughter. Delillo
tracks her quarry on a trail of escalating terror toward a
fiery
showdown that will test her wisdom, her will, and her every
skill.
