    After Charlie Feehan’s beloved father passes away, it seems the whole Feehan family hits rock bottom -- until
    Squizzy Taylor offers Charlie an amazing job with a matching miraculous paycheck.

    The illegal liquor runs turn Charlie into someone he truly isn’t, though. And when his good mate, Nostrils, gets a
    beating, Charlie has to decide whether to choose a dangerous path in life or a wiser one.

    With top-notch training, Charlie is either ready for his big mile-long race -- or not.

    RUNNER is a very well-detailed and exciting book. Robert Newton is a talented writer. A great read!
