Run Away
A KIDNAPPING WITH TIME RUNNING OUT...
For Honolulu P.D. homicide detective Jon Stanton, the body of a young boy discovered in the bushes of an upscale neighborhood is more than just another homicide. This one is personal.
The boy was eleven years old and a witness to the kidnapping of a wealthy housewife and her daughter. Stanton believes them to still be alive, but held by a host of desperate, unstable men. Men willing to kill children to achieve their ends.
Stanton and his new partner, the seductive and alluring niece of his boss, search from the seedy bars in Honolulu's Chinatown, to the homes of those that buy and sell flesh like cattle, and Stanton's wits will once again be tested to their limits.
Ultimately, Stanton will have to make the choice between justice and the law as he tracks down a perpetrator whose identity will shock him.

Victor Methos
Few writers of legal thrillers have lived the stories they tell as closely as Victor Methos. Born in Kabul and raised in the United States from the age of nine, he grew up with an outsider’s eye, watching, questioning, and writing. By ten, he was already crafting short stories in English, sensing that the written word could carry both truth and danger. That instinct would follow him into adulthood, shaping a career that straddled the courtroom and the page.
Before turning to fiction full time, Methos built his reputation in the legal world. He studied philosophy at the University of Utah, then shifted course to law school, where his fascination with justice became something far sharper. Over the next decade, he tried more than a hundred cases ranging from capital murder to high-stakes civil rights battles. Each trial demanded not just intellect but moral clarity, and many of those experiences left their imprint on his novels.
