'Something big is about to happen in the eastern Mediterranean; potentially a crime against humanity. It will be soon, and in many places but the target and the means are far from clear. Emma Jazy is a twenty-nine-year-old Swiss agent with IIB, the Netherlands-based International Investigations Bureau. IIB’s brief is to obtain court-admissible evidence about criminals operating across international borders. It is 2013. Can IIB get inside the mind of the ageing former Irish revolutionary, Padraic Hennessy, to sift through a complex fear campaign and unlock a criminal plan? For Emma, it is also personal. Hennessy’s involvement with her family goes back decades, long before her birth. From Ireland, to Cyprus, Croatia, Lebanon, Germany and Israel, to a gripping climax near Lake Geneva in Switzerland, 'The Run' goes inside the psyche of the revolutionary fighter … the willingness and need to kill or die for a cause.' (Publication summary)
