Running with the Devil - David F Reed

Ever since her son disappeared, Julia has lived as a reclusive shadow of her former self, paralysed by anxiety and grief. One night, she is viciously attacked and left for dead—only to be saved by a mysterious stranger known only as ‘Sam’, who claims to have no memory of his life before rescuing her.

But when Julia discovers her missing son’s name carved into Sam’s skin, a fragile alliance forms between them. Together, they begin a perilous search for answers—about Sam’s identity, and his haunting connection to her son.

As powerful forces rise to stop them, Julia and Sam must confront impossible choices. How far are they willing to go—and what are they prepared to sacrifice—to uncover the truth?
