From the Publisher
Beginning with a savage killing at a suburban Virginia juvenile detention center, Nathan's Run hurtles its diminutive protagonist, twelve-year-old Nathan Bailey, through a terrifying gauntlet. Accused of murder and branded a cop killer, Nathan becomes the target of a nationwide manhunt even as a vicious hit man is closing in on him. Orphaned and alone, Nathan has nowhere to turn for help. To stay alive he can count only on himself: on his agility, natural cleverness, and honesty. Ironically, the latter proves a formidable weapon as the boy endears himself to a national radio talk-show host and, along the way, pleads his case to a rapt nation. Still, "justice" will not be denied, and as an army of police and a dogged contract killer draw closer, Nathan is tested to the very limits of his endurance. Ultimately it will fall to one heart-scarred cop to hold out the helping hand Nathan so sorely needs.
