Man on the Run

About the Book

Lance Knight is an average Joe ready to declare his independence from the rat race. With a briefcase in hand, he enters a Vancouver bank, walks up to a teller and in one minute and thirty seconds, robs four tills and the vault. Toting three grocery bags and the briefcase, Lance quickly exits the bank and escapes in a Chevy Impala. A half hour later, Vancouver police detective Rob Passaglia receives word of Lance’s robbery and is assigned to the case. His captain thinks the case will be a slam dunk, but Rob is about to learn otherwise. As he leads the hunt to bring Lance to justice, the chase turns into a global pursuit as the inexperienced perp realizes the impact of an egregious error and becomes immersed in life on the run. Now isolated from his wife and family, Lance must make sense of a new love interest who has no idea that their entire relationship is based on lies. With the detective in hot pursuit, Lance’s effort to escape seems futile. Or is it? Man on the Run is a thrilling romp of international proportions as a novice criminal is pitted against the law, the environment, and dangerous characters while attempting to escape his past.
