Alan Cook is a wonderful writer and has his characters so that readers can contact on page one. His descriptions of the land, the characters and the tension that put you right in the minds of the characters.
Drake and the melody are former employees as a team in a race that is worth a million dollars is coupled to the winners. Both issues are, because they were coupled together and also becausethe race. Most other teams were highly regarded by marathon runners.
The CEO of the company is an individual Giganticorp well connected to the power and is ready to get to do what he wants. However, it is something very suspicious of this individual and Melody Drake and can not understand why it is not ready, he abandoned the race. There are many incidents which are either random or done to stop the teams to win the race. Drakewas injured in a car accident when a truck is on the back of the machine that is driving up other riders, who died in the most unusual.
Since the beginning of "Run in Trouble" by Alan Cook, the reader is fascinated and captured the excitement of the races. Readers will find themselves Sherlock Holmes to know "who did."
Run into Trouble Overview
Drake and Melody are teamed up to run a race along the California Coast for a prize of a million dollars—in 1969 when a million is worth something. Neither knows the other is in the race before it starts. They once did undercover work together in England, but this information is supposed to be top secret.
The race sponsor, Giganticorp, is a large and very profitable government military contractor, whose ambitious CEO, Casey Messinger, is connected to the powerful in Washington, which must give him access to classified information.
The nine other pairs of runners entered in the race are world-class marathoners, including a winner of the Boston Marathon. If this competition isn’t enough, somebody tries to knock Drake out of the race before it begins. But Drake and Melody also receive threats calculated to keep them from dropping out. What’s going on?
The stakes increase when startling events produce fatalities and impact the race, leading them to ask whether the Cold War with the USSR is about to heat up. If so, is it safer to line up with the hawks or the doves—because a wrong choice may mean giving up valuable freedom for questionable security.
With their previous training and their own contacts in Washington, Drake and Melody are in the best position to figure out whether various events are connected and who is behind them.
Their other challenge is to keep themselves in good physical condition to be able to compete for the prize money while running through the spectacular scenery of the California coast from the Mexican border to San Francisco.
