NO PLACE TO RUN

By Thomas B. Sawyer

What they're saying...

"NO PLACE TO RUN is a thrill-a-minute ride toward the darkest alley in the darkest part of the American government - that place where the sins of our intelligence agencies finally meet the blinding light of day. Members of the 9/11 Commission who read this compelling and entertaining novel will squirm." - Gerald Petievich, NY Times bestselling author THE SENTINEL and TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A.

"A powerful thriller, No Place to Run grips you by the throat and doesn't let go even after the breathless climax… because the questions it raises about hidden forces operating inside our government are staggering and important." - Ralph Pezzullo, NY Times bestselling author JAWBREAKER

"Gritty and suspenseful, NO PLACE TO RUN is a no-hold’s-barred journey into government, politics, and greed.  From a family on the run to low people in high places, this is a sweeping story that will rivet you until the very end." - Gayle Lynds, NY Times bestselling author THE BOOK OF SPIES and THE LAST SPYMASTER

"There's no place to hide in NO PLACE TO RUN, Tom Sawyer's sizzling new thriller. Breakneck pace, a provocative theme, and crackerjack writing propel this baby!" 
- Paul Levine, bestselling author ILLEGAL

"Sawyer has turned the untold side of the 9/11 nightmare into a riveting page turner. If you aren’t already into conspiracies, this one will make you a believer!" - William Link, Co-creator MURDER, SHE WROTE and COLUMBO

"Action is non-stop and relentless as this ultra-smart thriller’s luckless-but-never-hopeless young protagonists hit the ground running for their lives. NO PLACE TO RUN is a Sawyer specialty – the perfect blend of breathless suspense and inspired political savvy, topped with an eye-opening theory of what really led to the tragic events of 9/11." - Dick Lochte, author SLEEPING DOG and CROAKED!

"No Place To Run proves that fiction is indeed more fun than reality. This tight, fast-paced thriller is stuffed with bad guys and plot twists that will keep you guessing until the last page and will cramp the fingers of conspiracy-addicted bloggers. Hop on board. It’s a hell of a ride." - D. P. Lyle, MD, Edgar nominated, Macavity winning author Howdunnit: Forensics
