“King maintains his svelte, addictive style…. There’s fresh tension here…. From the elegiac tone, readers may suspect disaster in the final pages…. The author alters the stakes in this entertaining con artist tale and brings his characters full circle.”—Kirkus Reviews
Never cheat a partner. Always get revenge. . .
The Traveling Man takes on a quick and easy safecracking job…easy until his partners are murdered and he’s on the run.
His wife is trying to settle into her new role as a rich man’s girlfriend, so she isn’t at his side.
Who are these killers who are after him? And how are they connected to the government agency that wants the envelope he took from the safe?
With the help of a new associate, he tracks the killers until he’s steered into a trap. They think he’s cornered, but he’s still got one ace up his sleeve. . .
The Murder Run is a gritty, hard-boiled crime thriller. If you like criminal intrigue, surprising plot twists, and high-speed action, you’ll love the sixth novel in the Travelers series.
How many times have you heard or read a news report that made you think, “You just can't make this stuff up. What could they possibly have been thinking?” People often involve themselves in a chain of events that leads to unforeseen consequences simply because they want to take what they think is the easy way out, or they want to take what they think is a short cut to wealth or fame. I'm fascinated by this tendency, and it's the jumping off place for my fiction.
I've been reading every book in this series in one sitting for each book. They are that good. I've already purchased the next two and ready to continue following The Traveler's escapades.
