    About this audiobook

    At the beginning of this compelling novel, Rick Corinth- driven careerist, brilliant prosecutor, and the heir apparent to the district attorney's job in Manhattan-is assigned a case involving a series of increasingly sadistic rapes. When the victims, all prominent women at the acme of their careers, begin identifying Corinth as their assailant, he takes flight.

    No one who knows him well believes him capable of committing such shocking crimes, including his ex-wife. His children, made to suffer at school, are hurt and confused. And yet the evidence against him keeps mounting. When his ex-wife is herself sexually attacked, she in turn pegs Corinth as the culprit.

    Attorney-turned-novelist Alan Hruska's Wrong Man Running is the story of Corinth's frantic search to find the man he thinks framed him and the psychological challenges of confronting the possibility that he might be liable for the heinous rapes several women have claimed he committed. Sharp and haunting, Hruska masterfully ratchets up the suspense in this deftly written novel, penning a taut legal thriller in the vein of Scott Turow and John Grisham.

      A fast moving, cinematic novel about a prosecutor who becomes a suspect in a string of horrific rapes. Alan Hruska's writing and plot is better-than-average for this genre, with the novel beginning as a gritty, realistic procedural and then turning into more of a thriller as the prosecutor flees the police.Hruska's psychological and other insights are probably worse than average, most egregiously when it comes to rape and sexuality where it borders on offensive.But all in all, worth a quick read.
