A Novel
by Karen Cleveland
A CIA analyst makes a split-second decision that endangers her country but saves her son - and now she must team up with an investigative journalist she's not sure she can trust in this electrifying thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Need to Know.
We have your son.
It's the call that's every parent's nightmare. And for CIA analyst Jill Bailey, it's the call that changes everything.
It's Jill's job to vet new CIA sources. Like Falcon, who's been on the recruitment fast track. But before she can get to work, Jill gets the call. Her son has been taken. And to get him back, Jill does something she thought she'd never do.
Alex Charles, a hard-hitting journalist, begins to investigate an anonymous tip: an explosive claim about the CIA's hottest new source. This is the story that Alex has been waiting for. The tip—and a fierce determination to find the truth—leads Alex to Jill, who would rather remain hidden.
As the two begin to work together, they uncover a vast conspiracy that will force them to confront their loyalties to family and country. An edge-of-your-seat thriller, You Can Run will have you asking: What would you do to save the ones you love?
"Cleveland plunges the reader into a terrifying world of shifting alliances, action, and intrigue. Fans of strong, decisive female characters will find much to like." - Publishers Weekly
"The novel lacks the deeper technical language and action of Tom Clancy or the literary bleakness of John le Carré, but there's enough espionage to satisfy the casual reader of spy fiction, even down to some unexpected twists in the ending. Two strong, resilient women working together to save the world? Yes, please." - Kirkus Reviews
"Cleveland weaves technology, motherhood, and spydom's skullduggery into a taut, alluring web. Acclaimed for fiendishly clever plotting, she whips up the story to a breakneck pace, then rewards readers with a knockout ending." - Library Journal
