DEAD MAN RUNNING
Sentenced to death for crimes he didnât commit, ex-cop Tom OâBrien is now a hunted fugitive. After fifteen years in prison, heâs determined to prove his innocenceâbut first he must convince his daughter, whose testimony helped put him behind bars, that he has damning evidence of a plot to frame him.
Claire is no longer the naïve teenager who arrived home to find her mother and her motherâs lover shot dead and her father holding the murder weapon. Sheâs a successful fraud investigator who assumes everyone lies. Though Claire is convinced of her fatherâs guilt, curiosity propels her to look into the disappearance of a law student who claimed to have proof of Tomâs innocence. But seeking answers only leads to more questions, reinforcing Claireâs belief that thereâs no one left to trust.
Obsessed with the OâBrien case, FBI agent Mitch Bianchi befriends Claire under false pretenses, certain that Tom is not only innocent but in grave dangerâand not just from the cops. As the three race toward the truth, a murderous conspiracy tightens its nooseâand Claire becomes the target of an ice-cold psychopath who will kill to protect his secrets.
