Patrick Lee is a huge talent and Runner is his best book yet - breathless, involving, smart, and completely convincing
—— Lee ChildPure adrenaline rush . . . an action-packed novel brimming with complex characters as well as genuine heart. Not to be missed
—— Lisa GardnerAn amazing, high speed, hi-octane novel than moves faster than most people can read. Rarely is a story both plot driven and character driven, but Runner does this and more.
—— Nelson DeMilleI'm going to sue Patrick Lee for giving me whiplash: that's how furiously paced this book is. A terrific cast of characters, unrelenting action - strap in and enjoy the ride
—— Jesse KellermanA thriller done right. It literally begs to be read in one sitting . . . Patrick Lee is the real deal
—— Steve BerryWOW! Double Wow! Starkly original . . . mind-blowing
—— Stephen CoontsAudacious and terrifying - uncannily believable
—— Lee ChildPatrick Lee is in a word: Brilliant. Less a novel, than an adventure, it left me breathless and awed. It's explosive, innovative and ultimately mind-blowing. Pure exhilaration from the first page to the last
—— James RollinsThe real joy of the Serrailler series is Serrailler himself…rich in incident and intrigue
—— Daily ExpressNothing’s quite as it seems, except Hill's brilliantly compelling prose
—— Daily MirrorA wonderful storyteller… she is also one of those rare crime writers whose books invite a second reading
—— ScotsmanHill's Serrailler novels have developed into a series whose appeal stretches beyond their genre... The secret of Hill's narrative style is that she forces the readers to invest emotionally in her characters. And then she makes ghastly things happen to them... It sounds easy, but it isn't
—— SpectatorThe Simon Serrailler novels are in a league of their own; literate, detailed and full of drama - they stand head and shoulders above the majority of crime novels. This is the eighth novel in the series and is the darkest and most disturbing yet. It is also the best.
—— CrimeSquadKept me turning the pages, gripped
—— Woman & HomeAlthough at times distressing, Hill tackles a difficult issue without losing any tension and the finale keeps the reader gripped until the last page
—— Jaymi McCann, 4 stars , Sunday ExpressNever less than wholly absorbing
—— Church TimesHighly unsettling

—— Sunday TelegraphCaptures sinister atmosphere brilliantly
—— Spectator
