About Blind Run:
Ethan Decker is a specialized 'hunter' for one of the most secretive agencies of the US government. His mission is to track down ruthless international fugitives.

But when a daring mission takes a lethal turn, he exiles himself to a remote desert in New Mexico to live in a jail of his own guilt and grief. Until a former member of his covert team arrives at his door, shepherding two children. She entrusts them to Decker’s protection and leaves without explanation.

Suddenly he's the hunted instead of the hunter and the race is on to unlock the mystery behind these two children — innocent pawns in a dark conspiracy so evil that even this former spy could not imagine the peril that lies directly in his path.

My Thoughts:
This is my first Patricia Lewin read and I'm so glad that I found this author!

I like the way that the author built the tension. The plot has just enough twist in it to have a lovely resolution in the end!

At first I thought that this book is some kind of science fiction where we have super-humans running around as superheroes. But no, this book is crime fiction.

Why isn't there any more books in this series? I am hoping to read about the kids and what happened to them afterwards... Because Patricia Lewin is good at character building that I want to read more about them!

This is my first Dick Hill audiobook and I would listen to him again.

The Narrator

About Dick Hill:
Voice actor, actor, playwright, author.

As a Golden Voice (so honored by Audiofile Magazine), winner of 3 Audies and dozens of Earphone Awards, Dick Hill brings his own personal touch of vocal creativity to every project.

He brings stories to life with a wide variety of characterizations, dialects, and accents... reviewers have compared his work to a full cast recording. His rich baritone and insightful interpretations have also earned him praise for his many non-fiction titles.

Publishers and authors speak highly of Dick's work, too. Best selling thrill-master LEE CHILD , whose award winning Jack Reacher novel ONE SHOT earned Dick an Audie nomination for best solo male narrator and is on its way to the big screen, says:

"While few audiobook fans become authors, plenty of authors become audiobook fans — especially if they're lucky enough to get Dick Hill as their voice."

You can read more reviews of Dick Hill's work and listen to audio samples. When you're ready, he'd love you to get in touch about your next project.
