The runner - Christopher Reich

At the end of World War Two Erich Seyss, former SS officer and Olympic sprinter, known as 'The White Lion', is being held in an American POW camp awaiting a war crimes trial that he knows will see him hanged. Using all his ruthless skill as a trained killer, Seyss escapes, finding refuge with a shadowy organisation of former Nazis who plan to use his unique expertise in a breathtaking plot - a conspiracy that could change the destiny of Europe. Pursuing Seyss with furious determination is Devlin Judge, an American lawyer whose brother, an Amercian GI, was shot by Seyss in the last days of the war. With Seyss now on the loose, Devlin must find him at all costs - not only to avenge his brother, but to prevent a catastrophe of horrifying proportions.
