I've said it before… we've all at least thought about it: "If I knew I was gonna die a long, agonizing death -- I'd kill myself!"
Runner is the story of a man haunted by the slow, excruciating deterioration of his father in his battle with Alzheimer's. George swore he'd off himself before enduring that fate. When early-warning symptoms emerge, the snub-nosed .38 in his dresser drawer beckons.
Then tragedy strikes… a neighbor's daughter is killed in the crossfire of a drug raid and the bastards responsible are getting a free pass. Is George -- a reticent retired computer geek -- ballsy enough to make things right before he leaves this world?
A draining reduction of his problem-solving skills makes it impossible to even do the required research, no less come up with a plan. Desperate, he enlists Crazy Lucy and even Spot, his newly rescued Border-Collie, to help him track down his target: Sgt. Joseph Burgess, stationed on Fort Bliss, El Paso, Texas.
One final, perilous act may be all George has in him.
