When Cathy Connor and Eamonn Docherty are thrown together as children in the sleazy streets of London's east End their fate is sealed.

Cathy's miserable life as a prostitute's child leads to a terrifying ordeal that leaves her with no choice . . . Entering the world of Soho as a runaway, she is rescued and taught to survive in a criminal underworld by Desrae. Meanwhile, Eamonn, who fled to America with his father, has gained a reputation as one of the most ruthless villains in New York.

It's only a matter of time before their paths cross and, when they do, Cathy's an equal match for Eamonn. She's beautiful, clever and tough. And nothing's going to make her run away again . . .©1997 Martina Cole Crime Thrillers Domestic Thrillers Suspense Thriller & Suspense Thriller Crime Fiction Exciting Scary

Terrible accents and the constant use of the word hat instead of had is annoying

Annoying narrative

The Runaway is my favourite Martina Cole book and I had an extra credit so thought I’d try it on audiobook.
I was not disappointed. Lisa Coleman absolutely smashed it, bringing the characters and the story to life.
I’d def buy more that she narrated because she was fantastic ❤️

Fantastic..

It’s very enjoyable. All the foreign accent sound the same but it doesn’t effect the story.

Very good book

Where does The Runaway rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Its certainly in the top 3 books I've listened to.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It was, but it'd be a hell of a marathon getting through it in one go!

Any additional comments?

Brilliant, from start to finish.

After watching the drama series years ago, I thought I'd give the book ago. I'm so glad I did... Great story I would live to know what happened to Kathy and Richard and if they
ended up together?
Absolutely fabulous story...

Amazing book
