Marathon Man
By William Goldman.

Paperback.

Description:
William Goldman's
remarkable career spans more than five decades, and his credentials run the
gamut from bestselling novelist to Oscar-winning screenwriter to Hollywood
raconteur. He's beloved by millions of readers as the author of the classic
comic-romantic fantasy The Princess Bride. And he's notorious for
creating the most harrowing visit to the dentist in literary and cinematic
history – in one of the seminal thrillers of the twentieth century. . . .
MARATHON MAN
Tom "Babe"
Levy is a runner in every sense: racing tirelessly toward his goals of athletic
and academic excellence – and endlessly away from the specter of his famous
father's scandal-driven suicide. But an unexpected visit from his beloved older
brother will set in motion a chain of events that plunge Babe into a vortex of
terror, treachery, and murder – and force him into a race for his life . . .
and for the answer to the fateful question, "Is it safe?"
"Superb . . . One
hell of a read." – The Washington Post.
“An exciting – often funny,
often sad – chase … Goldman does a masterly job.” – Associated Press.
“Well-plotted,
expertly characterized, and fast-paced." – Los Angeles Times.
Shannon Hale, on books and reading:
The book smelled dusty
and old but also carried a sweet tang, a hint of something inviting.
She opened to the first page and started to read, pronouncing the words in a reverent whisper.
