Run Around, The [Mass Market Paperback]

Brian Freemantle (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

"Freemantle surpasses his earlier acclaimed thrillers starring Charlie Muffin, the British Intelligence agent foolishly underrated by his own government and foreign operatives alike," judged PW . Here, Charlie is assigned to investigate rumors of a major international political assassination.

This review is from: The Run Around (Portway Large Print) (Hardcover)

This is a good book. It had it all, a great story, good characters, wonderful action and a quick pace. This is an exciting book. It really made me happy reading the book; it was like a great game of treasure hunt where you find everything. Each time I was ready for a plot twist, action of drama it was there. The characters just explode in your memory - you do not get them out of your head. Overall a great effort.
