Man on the Run begins
with a man on the run for a crime that he didn’t commit. Russell Foley is his
name, and he has the more-than-good fortune to break into the home of Suzy
Patton, a stranger who is willing to help him. This is absurd even for a novel of
this type, and the book’s ham-handed plotting as Russell and Suzy try to clear
his name only heightens the absurdity. If I had not known that Charles Williams
wrote this book, I would never have guessed it. I expect much, much better from
him. Grade: D
