Adri trained for pain, heat, and exhaustion - she didn’t train to outrun a killer


‘Smart, visceral and deliciously dark and twisty’ LOUISE MINCHIN


–


250 miles through the desert. One killer among them.


Adri entered the world’s toughest race to outrun her past and prove she still belongs.


But when runners start to fall, one by one, she realises the heat isn’t the only danger.


Someone out here is hunting them…and Adri might be next.

PRAISE FOR RUNNER 13


‘Brilliantly atmospheric and with relentless pace, Runner 13 is one of the most propulsive adventure thrillers I’ve read. It will leave you gasping for breath. I loved it!’ LIV MATTHEWS


‘Amy McCulloch does it again! Runner 13 is an absolute scorcher of a thriller that examines the lengths we are willing to push ourselves for what's right’ SARA OCHS


‘As soon as I finished it I ordered all Amy's other books. A breathless, complex thriller. I steamed through it’ JANE FALLON


‘A thriller set around the fascinating world of ultra-running where there's always the threat that even the race might kill you. Utterly breathtaking - absolutely loved it. Amy's best yet’ CATHERINE COOPER


‘Tense, exhilarating and deeply immersive, I raced through this epic ultramarathon thriller’ LAURA STEVEN


‘A masterclass in atmospheric writing,...this is gold medal storytelling and I raced through it’ JANICE HALLETT

If there was a race to write a dark, immersive thriller that will transport you to a whole new world (of extreme marathon running) then Runner 13 by Amy McCulloch would be first across the line. A masterclass in atmospheric writing, it is told with resounding skill and authenticity, as deadly events at the extreme end of competitive running threaten the lives and families of troubled participants. This is gold medal storytelling and I raced through it.
