Synopsis "Run If You Can"
Denver homicide detective Nick Teffinger has made mistakes before, lots of them, but never as bad as this one. This time he's put a witness in harm's way by inadvertently disclosing her identity to a killer. She's protected herself as much as she could by abandoning her life in Denver and running away, all the way to Paris in fact, where she's taken an alias identity and settled into an unassuming life. That worked for awhile. It's not working anymore. And now it's time for Teffinger to correct his mistake and protect the one he put in jeopardy, even if it means getting killed in the process. The Nick Teffinger thrillers are all self-contained within their own four corners and can be read in any order. For over a decade, R.J.
