Runner 13

by Amy McCulloch · 2025

When Adri returns to ultra‑running after a career‑shattering scandal, she signs up for the ultimate test of endurance: a 250‑mile foot race across the scorching Sahara. With only the gear she can carry on her back, she must outrun the relentless heat, a mysterious, sadistic race director, and the ghosts of her past—including a coach whose death still haunts her. As competitors begin to fall—some from exhaustion, others under far more sinister circumstances—a killer stalks the dunes, turning the race into a deadly hunt. Adri is driven by one goal: to prove to herself and her young son that she’s still a winner, and to uncover the truth behind the scandals that ruined her life. In this pulse‑pounding thriller, every mile brings her closer to survival, redemption, and a shocking revelation hidden in the endless sand.
