Description
Set in Manchester, Running Scared is a nerve-shredding thriller by bestselling author Mandasue Heller. When Alexis 'Lexi' James falls out with her best mate Nicole over 'bad boy' Ryan King, it's just the beginning of a chain of events that go from bad to worse to deadly. Returning home one night to her high-rise flat, she finds her mother dead and her mum's abusive boyfriend Tony trying desperately to scrub blood off his t-shirt. He pleads his innocence, but Lexi knows him too well and calls the police. Traumatized by the death of her mum, matters are made worse when Lexi is put into care in another town. Some years later, Lexi has left school and finds herself back in Manchester. A chance meeting with Nicole and her so-called 'other half' Ryan ends in disaster and she vows never to see them again. Then one night she is saved from a vicious attack by a charming stranger. He takes her home and their acquaintance blossoms into something much deeper. When her new man receives a call in the middle of the night and leaves in a hurry, she is horrified when he returns with someone she never thought she would see again. It soon becomes obvious that Lexi doesn't know her new lover as well as she thought, and she is forced to make a decision that will have devastating results . . .
