Description

A Governor's Pardon. A Nobel Prize Winner. A Murder at City Hall. It all begins with a Governor's Pardon that sends shockwaves through the criminal justice system. After losing his second term election, the governor of Kentucky pardons 428 felons. Among them, Lennart Skoll--convicted of a brutal double homicide and sentenced to 18 years in Kentucky's notorious prison, The Castle on the Cumberland. Skoll claims he was wrongfully convicted, an innocent victim of circumstance, but can he be trusted? But the real storm is brewing in San Francisco where Will Finch joins an Extinction Rebellion protest outside City Hall. When the rally turns violent, a loner waves a pistol and fires a wild shot into the crowd. Finch tackles the gunman and holds him for the police. When the dust settles, a bystander lies dead beside him--a climate science Nobel Prize winner. As Finch grapples with the weight of the tragedy, he stumbles upon a web of deception that leads to a triple murder. The killings spark a cat-and-mouse chase through South Dakota's Black Hills. Can Finch outrun the criminals trying to silence him, or will he become one more victim of corruption and violence? With its serpentine plot twists and life-or-death suspense, Run Time speeds from San Francisco to Louisville, Kentucky and builds to a staggering climax on Mount Rushmore. Prepare for a fight against the odds -- and a battle that will leave you breathless in Run Time.
