“The Tillerman series... is a tour de force”
The Guardian

From the Back Cover:

BOOK FOUR OF THE TILLERMAN SERIES

Bullet was angry, good and angry. He was mad, good and mad. Bad and mad, bad mad... His feet picked up the rhythm of his anger.

Bullet Tillerman is a loner, with little interest in anyone or anything except running. But this is the 1960s, and with racial war at home and the Vietnam War abroad, Bullet's beliefs have to change. Is black athlete Tamer Shipp the person who will help him to make that change?

A gut-wrenching story about war, racism and strength of personality, 'The Runner' builds on characters introduced in Book One of the Tillerman Series, 'Homecoming', now a Collins Modern Classic.
