a unique village in the German Alps , and is
plunged into a maelstrom of murder, deceit and corruption, as she fights to
recover her memory.
Eventually, as pieces of her memory start
returning, she works out that she has a key role to play in the prosecution of
a number of highly-placed politicians and officials in South Africa and company

huge bribes to get massive munitions contracts in the early years of the
development of South Africa, a time that saw the rise of organised crime in the
country. Her knowledge poses a risk of

determined to prevent! As her knowledge
of what has occurred grows, so do the threats to her and her associates!
Extract:
- As they came closer,
the helicopter came in sight, still hovering at its station. They slowed down further, watching. Then the helicopter lifted its tail and
accelerated towards the service station.
They watched fearfully as the aircraft sped towards the building. In horror, they saw a puff of smoke appear at
the side of the aircraft as a rocket sped out of its tube. Another puff appeared a second later, and the
two rockets sped towards the blue lights, trailing a line of blue-grey
smoke. There was a massive explosion,
closely followed by a second, and the Police car lifted into the air, its doors
and trunk lid blown off. The car thumped
to the ground, burning furiously. Red
and yellow flames were shooting through the cloud of greasy black smoke rising
from the wreckage. Wilhelm drove past
the entrance to the service station, and Sandra watched as the helicopter turned,
and headed down the road in the direction they had come from, towards the
bridge. Before they lost sight of the
service station, they saw that one of the cars, the one from the back, exited
the service road and headed in the same direction, towards the border, while
the second car turned across the median strip a short distance behind them, and
hurtled down the road, flashing past them at high speed.-
Reviewer’s Comments:
‘Run!’ was my entry
into the ‘Integra’ series, and I loved it.
It is well written, with good character development, an exciting and
gripping story related to real-life events. It is easily readable and un-put-downable.
Structure:
The essentials of a
good, well-written book are all present – good use of grammar and syntax, no
clichés and slang, no spelling errors or typos.
I read it in the Epub format, and it reads well. It is also available in all other standard
formats.
Content: The
book sets out a realistic story, based on a huge corruption relating to the
purchase of armaments by a Government. The
main character is a young woman Chemical Engineer who is caught up in a plan to
launder the proceeds of that corruption.
There is a high-speed accident on the Autobahn, and she loses her
memory. As she struggles to recover her
identity in a strange country, she becomes the target of a group of criminals
who fear what she can reveal.
