Runner 13

Adri trained for pain, heat, and exhaustion - she didn't train to outrun a killer

'A masterclass in atmospheric writing,...this is gold medal storytelling and I raced through it' JANICE HALLETT

'Tense, exhilarating and deeply immersive, I raced through this epic ultramarathon thriller' LAURA STEVEN

'Smart, visceral and deliciously dark and twisty' LOUISE MINCHIN

'An exciting terrifyingly convincing depiction of people under savage stress. Unmissable' Literary Review

It's the ultimate test of endurance: two-hundred-and-fifty miles in the brutal heat of the Sahara, with only the supplies you can carry on your back.

Adri is ready. Returning to ultra-running in the wake of a scandal, she needs to prove to herself - and her young son - that she's a winner.

When a fellow runner is badly injured, Adri knows something isn't right. Yet in a race this extreme, even a dead body can be explained away.

But there's a killer stalking the hot sand. And the problem with running faster than everyone else, is that you're miles ahead of anyone who can save you...
