No Place to Run ReviewThomas B. Sawyer has such an inventive way with conspiracy novels they
leave the reader wondering if he made the whole thing up or if it
might just have happened that way.
NO PLACE TO RUN's opening lines:
***
There it was again.
Ticka-ticka-ticka-ticka...
He stopped breathing.
Then, almost as quickly as they had come the noises diminished,
vanished. He exhaled. His pulse began to slow. Once again, the loudest
sound in the murky foyer was his heartbeat.
A rat, probably. As frightened as I am. Strike that. Not even close.
Bill Lawrence realized he'd lost count.
His fear bordered on terror. Not of getting caught--he was here, after
all, with the tenant's permission. At his request, actually. Nor was
it the singularity of what he was doing. Skulking on his hands and
knees in dark places was well outside Bill's normal professional
activities.
***
You might assume from the riveting first pages that Bill Lawrence is
the protagonist. You might be right. You might be wrong. Things are
not always what they seem in this Byzantine tale of the discovery of
certain facts about the events leading to 9/11 - and the desperate,
damn-the-costs attempt to prevent them from emerging.
What rogue federal agents do to protect a powerful Washington figure
with a connection to the terror attacks of 9/11 makes for nasty
business. Sawyer brings it down to human levels with a 24 year-old
sister and her young brother running for their lives, trusting no one,
not even the agent intent on saving them, as they try to solve the
cryptic evidence uncovered by their father.
The 12-year-old brother, who has made a science of outwitting adults,
adds a humorous note to this nail-biting, stomach-churning story.
Sawyer is a TV/film veteran and it shows in the quick cuts from scene
to scene, with no wasted motion. The first few chapters are like the
opening of a suspenseful movie. People appear and disappear with only
the briefest of introduction or explanation. There are visuals -
scraps of scratch-paper notes and news clips.
Along about page 50 the story stretches out a little with a bit of
back story. But don't get comfortable. The whole thing blows up with a
shocking twist, and takes off in a different, unexpected direction.
The great director Alfred Hitchcock described a McGuffin as "the mechanical element that usually crops up in any story. In crook stories it is almost always the necklace and in spy stories it is most always the papers."
Here, it's the papers. Draw your own conclusions. Sawyer's McGuffin propels the plot right up to the surprise ending.
NO PLACE TO RUN is an exciting, satisfying, thought-provoking stomach-churner, one worth staying up late to finish.
No Place to Run OverviewAttorney Bill Lawrence's hitman client unloads a bombshell that will change history: evidence of a murder he committed on September 11, 2001. After finding the explosive documents, Bill immediately enters his family into the witness protection program, much to the dismay of his 24-year-old daughter, Claudia, who's not thrilled about being uprooted from her job and her boyfriend. But the next morning her parents are killed by a car bomb, the hitman is murdered in his cell, and Claudia is accused of her parents' murder. She and her 12-year-old brother, Adam, become fugitives, running from the police and the rogue FBI agents who want them dead. Their only hope of survival is to find the evidence her father possessed, and she and Adam are led on a cross-country quest that eventually lands them on a Chesapeake Bay estate. There, in an ultra-tense climax, Claudia finally deciphers the ugly secret behind 9/11. Will she live to tell about it?
