See all titles by Jamie Freveletti.A race against evil . . .
Emma
Caldridge, a chemist for a cosmetics company, is en route from Miami to
Bogota when her plane is hijacked and spins out of control into the
mountains near the Venezuelan border. Thrown unhurt from the wreckage,
she can do nothing but watch as guerrillas take the other passengers
hostage.
An endurance marathon runner, Emma silently trails the
guerrillas and their captives, using her athletic prowess and scientific
knowledge to stay alive. Those skills become essential when she
discovers an injured passenger, secret government agent Cameron Sumner,
separated from the group. Together they follow the hostages, staying one
step ahead by staying one step behind.
Meanwhile, as news of the
hijacking breaks in Washington, the Department of Defense turns to
Edward Banner, former military officer and current CEO of a security
consulting firm, for help. Banner quickly sends a special task force to
the crash site, intent on locating the survivors before it’s too late.
But
finding Emma and Sumner is only the beginning, as Banner starts to
realize that Emma was on a personal mission when the plane went down.
There is more to the beautiful, talented biochemist than anyone ever
imagined, for in her possession is a volatile biological weapon in an
ingenious disguise, one that her enemies have set for auction to the
highest bidder.
Combining the action-packed plotting of Lee Child
and Daniel Silva, and the rich scientific detail of Kathy Reichs and
Tess Gerritsen, Running from the Devil is a breathtaking debut from a bold and daring new author.
