Lehman's Run (The Jake Lehman Trilogy)

By Leonard McClane

Newcastle-based private investigator Jake Lehman is back - and trying the best he can to ride the personal and professional opportunities afforded to him as a result of the infamous Stephie Jay case that rocked the region fifteen months earlier. Set against the back-drop of a city still trying to get back on its feet whilst enduring the longest heatwave the region has ever encountered, Lehman is asked to look into the disappearance of a young Muslim student. For him this is a 'run' - an "easy job" he'll get done in no time. But when nothing starts adding up and the case places him in the crosshairs of secret police units, white supremacists, shady millionaires and potential Islamic extremists, Lehman comes to realise this 'run' could cost him his business, his friendships... and his life! Lehman's Run is the exhilarating sequel to the acclaimed irreverent mystery thriller, Lehman's Terms. An action-packed 'sort-of-satire' that just wants to be the Captain America: The Winter Soldier of private eye capers Reviews for "Lehman's Run": "... A scarily perceptive take on the world we live in right now, dressed up in a rip-roaring private eye caper that lovingly tips its cap to the Jerry Bruckheimer blockbusters of the mid 90s!" - James Grant. "Lehman is back with a bang! Leonard McClane has produced a thrilling second novel; fast-paced, fascinating characters and a story that bounces you from scene-to-scene, all making it one of those books you don't want to put down... If you like your heroes tortured, your plots twisted and your mind wowed, read this!" - Lesley Renwick. "Lehman thrills once again on this new adventure, showing us that not everyone falls foul of the infamous 'difficult second album syndrome'!" - Jennie Howie. "The stuff with the school and the social media propaganda is so clearly well researched and perfectly utilised it actually scared me with how accurate it probably is and how it's probably happening to kids right now!" - Robert Gottlieb. "Another fast-paced and thrilling book from a great author! It made me laugh, cry and always left me wanting more!" - Helen Leatt. " ... Brilliant! A fast-paced read with the usual Leonard McClane wit and a gift for bringing the city of Newcastle to life - a real page turner!" - Gareth Mitchell. "Lehman's Run is funnier, darker and even more obscure in its musical references than Lehman's Terms!" - Emily John. -------------------------------
