You Can Run by Steve Mosby 327 pages
When a car crashes into a garage in a perfectly ordinary neighborhood, the police who arrive at the scene discover something horrifying: there is a woman imprisoned there. As the house is searched and the remains of several other victims are found, police believe they have finally identified the Red River Killer, a person who has been abducting women for almost twenty years. However, their main suspect, John Blythe, is on the run. As the police's hunt for Blythe ramps up, Detective Inspector Will Turner finds himself involved. The problem is, these killing hold a special significance for Will and he feels he has to be the one to find the Red River Killer, at any cost.
I really enjoyed this story, as the pace started quickly and never let up. You get several viewpoints, which keeps things interesting and also keeps you a bit off-kilter. You know who Will Turner is, and you get some perspective from John Blythe, but there other characters involved and it's not clear at first what part they play in the story. As you get further into the book, things start to come together, but nothing's cleared up until the end (which I really like in a suspense story).
