Run Time

A Governor's Pardon.
A Nobel Prize Winner.
A Murder at City Hall. After losing his second term election, the governor of Kentucky pardons 428 felons. Among them, Lennart Skoll-convicted of a double homicide and sentenced to 18 years in Kentucky's notorious prison, The Castle on the Cumberland. Skoll claims he was wrongfully convicted, an innocent victim of circumstance. But who can believe him? In San Francisco, Will Finch joins an Extinction Rebellion protest outside City Hall. When the rally turns violent, a loner waves a pistol and fires a wild shot into the crowd. Finch tackles the gunman and holds him for the police. When the dust settles, a bystander lies dead beside him-a climate science Nobel Prize winner. As Finch tries to unravel the mystery of the shooting, he stumbles onto a triple murder. The killings lead to a cat-and-mouse chase through South Dakota's Black Hills. Can Finch outrun the criminals trying to silence him, or will he become one more victim of corruption and violence? Fusing the serpentine plot twists of Sandra Brown's Thick as Thieves with the life-or-death suspense in Zodiac, Run Time speeds from San Francisco to Louisville, Kentucky and builds to a staggering climax on Mount Rushmore.
