In August of 1972, Ian McPherson was double-crossed and because of it, he became disabled and went to prison for the next 30 years. Don't worry, this is all covered in the prologue.
Fast forward to 2004. Homeless and young Tasya Flynn squeaked her way into a unknown house through the dog door. She was on the run; she needed some food and rest before taking off again. What she didn't know was that the now-61 year old Ian was at home and contemplating shooting himself.
[b:Run No More|667844|Run No More|Catherine Mulvany|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1176943680s/667844.jpg|653890] was a killer-thriller, jewel thief fantasy, time-travel/alternate reality, training-an-apprentice contemporary romance all rolled up into one. The central theme was payback is hell. If it sounded busy, it was.
Tasya was abducted several years ago and, finally, managed to break free. But 'Richard' aimed to get her back. Ian with his trusted Portuguese manservant, Paulinho, became her friend. Then more.
The story was divided into two parts: the present and the past/alternate reality. I read the entire first story with the expected ending. I knew the author had to write it this way. Besides the fact that the plot included several side-stories there was the glaring -don't look if you plan on reading the story!-age difference. I think I tolerate it better than most people but there was a 40 year age span. Even I have a limit. Granted, the second part smoothed it over but still. And there was some sex. Albeit brief but still. Eee-uww.
I am not going to rate this book because I skimmed the second story; I needed closure.
