"ONE OF THE BEST THRILLERS OF THE YEAR" — JAMES PATTERSON, bestselling author.


Photojournalist John Wallace struggles to consciousness to find he has been bound and blindfolded by a masked man who is preparing to hang him in his own living room.


Forced onto a chair with a noose around his neck, Wallace briefly reconsiders his mostly lonely life before the chair is kicked out beneath him and his world fades to black.
Then he gets lucky and manages to escape his apartment, just ahead of his assailant. Bloody, barefoot, and with at least one broken rib, he has no choice but to run for his life.
When his would-be killer strikes again, Wallace realizes he will have to figure out who is hunting him and stop him on his own.


The pendulum of fate swung briefly in his favor, but it's only a matter of time before its momentum carries it to the other side . . .

      At the start of Hamdy’s fast-paced, cinematic thriller, reclusive photojournalist John Wallace, who lives in a flat in a converted London church, finds himself blindfolded and tied up shortly after making the mistake of opening his door to a masked intruder. Within minutes he’s strung up from a beam, a noose around his neck. His body-armor-clad assailant, who never explains the assault, leaves Wallace to dangle. Wallace’s spectacular escape is one of many exciting action sequences in a plot that quickly spirals into messiness, as the photographer tries to puzzle out why he’s been targeted by a relentless, unstoppable villain who bests the Metropolitan Police and the FBI with equal ease. Hamdy (Run) dispatches characters and introduces subplots amid shifting locations including Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York City. The action-packed jump cuts and sudden, short story arcs become tiresome, and the climax fails to live up to the gripping beginning. Agent: Hannah Shepherd, DHH Literary Agency (U.K.).
