<p><em>“You told me a lot of things,” said James grimly. “Most of them weren’t true.”</em></p>
<p>James Elliott, lost in a fog, comes upon a lonely house in the English countryside. The house shows no lights but the front door is ajar. He enters in search of a telephone but instead finds a girl whose white face, eyes wide in a stare of horror and mouth open as if to scream. But instead of screaming, she yells ‘run!’ At that moment there is the sound of a shot and James feels the wind of a bullet as it goes past. Though he rescues the girl, she cannot – or will not – tell him quite where the danger lies…</p>
<p>Is the girl’s name Aspidistra Aspinall, as she originally claims? Or perhaps it’s Sally West, as she later styles herself, when revealing that bestselling author Ambrose Sylvester may have passed off a dead man’s work as his own. The girl’s fear is real enough, and for good reason – someone is playing for high stakes, and another corpse has been left to prove it. But will James himself turn out to be the intended victim?</p>
<p><em>Run!</em> was originally published in 1938. This new edition features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans.</p>
<p>“When I pick up a book by Patricia Wentworth I think, now to enjoy myself – and I always do.” Mary Dell, <em>Daily Mirror</em></p>
