Items related to Murder on the Run
Meet Veronica "Ronnie" Ventana, daughter of the infamous Ventana's, the couple who made cat burglary classy. But Ronnie, with her special expertise in burglar alarm systems -- getting past them, that is -- and her best friend, Blackie Coogan, shamus emeritus of San Francisico, operate on the legit side of the law.
Running is supposed to be the path to health, but for Ronnie it's suddenly a direct route to danger. At six A.M. on the edge of the bay, she's the jogger who stumbles onto the scene of a crime. The killer has seen her face and she's IDed him as a political honcho with enough clout to cover up anything . . . even murder. Now she's running for her life from the barrios to San Francisco's ritziest neighborhoods . . . and her destination is that dark place called Justice and Revenge.

Book Description Hard Cover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. 1st Hardcover edition. Slight spine slant else near fine in dust jacket. PI Veronica "Ronnie" Ventana of San Francisco in her first book. An ANTHONY AWARD NOMINEE. "The satisfying momentum never flags from this first novel's opening moment when PI Ronnie Ventana's early morning jog turns into a race for her life. Having witnessed a man hurl another into the San Francisco Bay, Ventana soon recognizes the perpetrator as Pete August, an ex-cop and private investigator so well-connected as to be virtually untouchable--especially when the police fail to recover the victim's body. Colorful characters--including Ventana's salty PI mentor Blackie Coogan, August's beauteous lady friend Judge Martha Coyle and a coterie of seedy informers and enforcers--all contribute surprises as the action breezes along. Despite frosty noncooperation from the police, Ventana seems to have all the angles figured until another eyewitness surfaces, a child whose testimony makes her rethink the entire case. Then a report of a long-ago rape leads Ventana to her final encounter with the murderer and to a neatly tied unexpected ending.": -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY. Book. Seller Inventory # 015327
