After selling his company for millions, Colby Walker takes his family—and his son’s friend Jess—on vacation, wanting nothing more than to unwind in the sun and surf. But he spots the alarming signs in short order: Jess’s downcast eyes, a familiar passivity, and angry red welts marching across the boy’s bare back. Walker understands what they mean because he’d been that boy, many years ago.He’d suffered in silence, too.Can Walker stand by and let the torment continue? Does he trust the authorities—the same ones who had failed him in his youth—to take care of Jess? Hell no. With Jess in tow, Walker packs up the minivan and takes his family on the lam, keeping one step ahead of Jess’s cruel father and unhinged ex-con aunt. When the stakes escalate and his headstrong actions put people’s lives in jeopardy, Walker must finally conquer his past before he can save those he loves. He can run no longer.

About the Author Before Alan stepped off the corporate merry-go-round, he had an eclectic (some might say disjointed) career. As an engineer, he worked on nuclear submarines, supervised assembly workers in factories, facilitated technology transfer from the Star Wars program, and learned to stack washing machines three high in a warehouse with a forklift. He even started his own recycling and waste reduction newsletter business. Now he writes fiction. Alan is the author of the Agatha-nominated DIAMONDS FOR THE DEAD. He also wrote KILLER ROUTINE and DEADLY CAMPAIGN in the Last Laff Mystery Series. As Zak Allen, he's written THE TASTE, FIRST TIME KILLER, and RIDE-ALONG.

I have always been secretly proud of my skill at spotting the plot devices and knowing exactly how a book was going to turn out. RUNNING FROM THE PAST stymied me. This plot was unlike any other I've read - fresh, interesting, intelligent, real. As a counselor by training, I thought the human experience that Orloff unfolded was spot on as past incidents heavily influenced present perception and more importantly present actions and inactions. Enjoy!
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. How Far Will You Go to Save Another? By Joseph Souza, Author of Crime Thriller, NEED TO FIND YOU The past is what motivates Colby Walker, the defining character in this suspenseful novel. While vacationing with his family, and his son’s best friend, Jess, Colby discovers that Jesse has been abused by his father. Revisiting the horrors of his own childhood abuse, Colby decides, against his wife’s better judgment, to kidnap the abused boy.Colby has cashed out his company and made millions from the deal. But his long hours at work have created a distance between himself and his family. Now with plenty of time on his hand, he feels the need to assert his control over them. His quest to save Jess from his abusive father becomes an all-consuming passion, to the exclusion of his wife and children.This is the creepy part of RUNNING FRM THE PAST. Colby’s childhood abuse drives his obsession to save Jesse. The questions he asked the boy that made me at times squirm. He pries and sticks his neck out in the wrong places. His decision to kidnap Jess seems honorable, but it puts his family in jeopardy. One wonders if this is transference. It also begs the question: to what degree does the past affect our everyday decisions? How far are willing to go to save another troubled soul?This is a fast paced book with interesting family dynamics. A sub-plot with Jesse’s aunt is less effective, but it does not distract from the powerful message of childhood abuse. While reading this, I found myself wondering what I would do in a similar situation. And that’s the highest compliment.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. I couldn't put it down By Marilyn R. I don't write many reviews but this is a definite must read. I found myself unable to put it down and finished in two days. Anyone with siblings can relate to the brother-sister teasing/torture and parental exasperation of the Walkers. While taking their son's best friend, Jess, along on the family vacation they are confronted with the evidence of Jess having been abused at the hands of his father and they are conflicted. When the abusive father starts hunting them down to get his son back past memories and the current fears collide for an edge of you seat ending. I would highly recommend this book.
