A propulsive page-turner * Vaseem Khan * Punchy, pacy and packed with powerful scenes. Nailed on to be one of THE books of 2023 -- Robert Scragg A good thriller needs more than just a compelling plot, I want to care about the characters too. Trevor Wood pulls that off superbly in You Can Run with a cast of characters I was sorry to say goodbye to at the end. -- Frances Quinn Trevor Wood has written another cracker of a book. A different cast of characters from his previous trilogy but equally engaging with a theme that focuses on community and what it takes to belong. I loved it -- Nikki Smith Got up early to finish this smashing new book. Go Ruby! What a hero! Books of 2023 will definitely include You Can Run -- Fiona Erskine Superb.
