Runner 13 : a thriller / by McCulloch, Amy,1986-author.;
"It's the ultimate challenge: a multi-day, two-hundred-and-fifty-mile race across the Sahara, with only the supplies you can carry on your back. It's the race that Adrienne Wendell was born for. Years ago, Adri had to abandon her career as a star ultra-marathon runner in the wake of a scandal. She could cope with the threats to herself, but when her young son was endangered, she gave it all up. Now, at long last, she's ready to run again. She's running to win -- and to get some answers from the enigmatic, legendary race organizer. Because the past has begun to show up in the present, in troubling ways. It takes a while for Adri to realise that something is wrong. After all, in a fierce desert environment, the first dead body is too easy to explain away. But once the race begins, it becomes clear that there's a killer stalking the hot sand, and he's got Adri in his sights."--

The finisher : a Peter Diamond investigation / by Lovesey, Peter,author.;
"Through a particularly tragic series of events, couch potato Maeve Kelly, an elementary school teacher whose mother always assured her "curvy" girls shouldn't waste their time trying to be fit, has been forced to sign up for the Other Half, Bath's springtime half-marathon. The training is brutal, but she must disprove her mother and collect pledges for her aunt's beloved charity. What Maeve doesn't know is just how brutal some of the other runners are. As race day draws closer, an undocumented Albanian man named Spiro makes a run for freedom on the other side of town, escaping the chain gang that has held him hostage and its murderous foreman, who is known to his charges as The Finisher. The Finisher has killed for disobedience before, and Spiro knows there's a target on his back as he tries to lose himself in the genteel medieval city of Bath. Meanwhile Detective Peter Diamond is tasked with crowd control on the raucous day of the race-and catches sight of a violent criminal he put away a decade ago, and who very much seems to be up to his old tricks now that he is paroled. Diamond's hackles are already up when he learns that one of the runners never crossed the finish line-disappeared without a trace. Was Diamond a spectator to the prelude to a murder?"--
