On the Run by Iris Johansen Grace Archer and her precocious eight-year-old daughter, Frankie, live on a horse farm in Alabama trying to have a normal life. Robert is her government protector and local martial arts instructor. Out of nowhere, the bad guys find out where she is and her former mentor, Jake Kilmer, shows up to protect her and her daughter. He and his team move Grace, Frankie and Robert to a remote ranch in Wyoming. Thanks to a leak from someone in government, they're found again, and Frankie is kidnapped. Marvot, the head bad guy, entices Grace to Morocco since he has her daughter and because he wants her to tame his two almost-wild horses for a sinister reason. Of course Kilmer and his gang try to get them out in one piece. The story has a
few surprises that could easily be anticipated. And if the premise for this book seems
familiar, it is – the story is very much like Ridley Pearson's Cut and Run. |
