Marathon Stalk

by P.J. Hafner

A Whole New Meaning to Hitting the Wall Governor Bradley Wall has often felt a target on his back, but never literally. That suddenly after defying a new and ruthless drug cartel, the thugs put a price on his head and his life in the crosshairs. To complicate matters, as he prepares for his annual publicity jaunt in the Twin Cities Marathon, it's learned that a spectacle is in the works...to have the governor killed during the race itself. He needs protection. Enter tough guy Lee Bodkin, bounty hunter and weapons expert, and a perfect balance of lethal force to counteract the new threat. He and partner Gladdis Montrose, a fearsome biathlete and precision sniper, have been known to let the bullets flow freely when required, and the governor and security team want them on the squad. One big Governor Wall slows down for no one, and Bodkin has never before run a marathon. He's underestimated the rigors a full marathon entails, and as his body begins to self-destruct just trying to maintain pace on trial runs, the dilemma leaps to the If the assassins don't do him in, the marathon training just might.
