TUNNEL RUNNER is a fast, deadly espionage thriller peopled with quirky and most times vicious characters. It tells of a dark world where murder is committed and no none is brought to account; where loyalties exist side by side with lies and extreme violence.

Ashman, "the hunter, the hero, the killer" is a denizen of that world who awakens to find himself paralyzed in a mental hospital. He escapes and seeks vengeance, confronting his old friends, the Pentagon, the Mafia, and a mysterious general who is covering up the attack on TWA Flight 800.

People begin to die. There are shoot-outs and assassinations. A woman is blown up in her bathtub.

Ashman is cunning and ruthless as he moves through the labyrinth of deceit, violence, and suspicion. He is a tunnel runner, a ferret in the hole, who needs the danger to survive and hates them who have made him so.

It is this peculiar combination of ruthlessness and vulnerability that redeems Ashman as he goes for those who want him dead. Join him.
