The Man Who Tried to Get Away

About this book

Running away from yourself never works. Youll always catch up. "Donaldson at his trademark best fleshes out the characters to the max...and its all wrapped around a well-paced cleverly-plotted mystery that will leave readers wanting more." --Charleston Post on The Man Who Killed His Brother Mick "Brew" Axbrewder was once a great P.I. That was before he accidentally shot and killed a cop-worse a cop who happened to be his own brother. Then Micks partner Ginny Fistoulari blew off her own hand protecting him from a confrontation brought on by his alcoholism. Unsurprisingly Mick and Ginny arent on great terms any more. Now a week after an incident in which he was shot barely back on his feet Mick has agreed against his better judgement to join Ginny in providing security at a "murder mystery camp" where a dozen people stay in an isolated snowbound lodge to play at being detectives. Then a real killer starts bumping people off one by one... As ever Stephen Donaldson shows why hes regarded as one of Americas greatest storytellers with a tale of human pain and human triumph.
