It takes a village to save a child in this pulse-pounding standalone thriller from the acclaimed author of The Man on the Street.
'Fast-paced and gripping' Harriet Tyce
'A propulsive page-turner' Vaseem Khan
It wasn't her dad they were after. It was her.
Ruby Winter is surprised when her reclusive father invites a stranger into their house. She eavesdrops on their conversation and is alarmed when she hears a fight break out. She dashes into the kitchen to save her dad but the stranger's the one lying on the floor in a pool of blood.
Her dad urges her to pack a bag. They must quit their Northumbrian cottage and run. There isn't time to explain why. But as they try to flee her dad is captured.
The only people who can help her are the villagers she has shunned her whole life. But, desperate to find her father and to work out who took him and why, she must seek their help.
But what if learning the truth means discovering the life she once knew was a lie? ******************************************

Praise for You Can Run
-
Fast paced and gripping but with a heart of solid gold. Great stuff
-
I raced through it. I loved the characters and the dark humour. A cracking, pacy read.
-
Trevor Wood has written another cracker of a book. A different cast of characters from his previous trilogy but equally engaging with a theme that focuses on community and what it takes to belong. I loved it
-
Begins at the speed of a runaway train. A propulsive page-turner - Vaseem Khan
-
A menacing isolation action thriller. At once an affecting mediation on family and identity, and also a heart-pounding survival tale that digs into issues of power and class
-
Punchy, pacy and packed with powerful scenes. Nailed on to be one of THE books of 2023
-
A tour de force. From behind the twitching curtains of a small divided village a force of unlikely ne'er do wells come together in this edgy, electrifying modern thriller. Once again Wood proves himself a brilliant champion of the underdog
-
A good thriller needs more than just a compelling plot, I want to care about the characters too. Trevor Wood pulls that off superbly in You Can Run with a cast of characters I was sorry to say goodbye to at the end.
