About this Item

Paperback. There had always been the Running Man always that phantom form somewhere in the distance, always shuffling relentlessly closer. Tom Leyton, a reclusive Vietnam War veteran, has been the subject of rumour and gossip for 30 years. When Joseph Davidson, his young neighbour and a talented artist, is asked to draw a portrait of him, an uneasy relationship begins to unfold, one that will force each of them to confront his darkest secrets. This is a story about how we perceive others, the judgments we make about them, how we cope with tragedy and the nature of miracles.nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

About this title

Synopsis

Fourteen year old Joseph, a talented artist, is drawing a portrait of his silent, brooding neighbour, Tom Leighton. To draw him accurately, Joseph must see beyond the rumours and gossip to the man himself, the Vietnam War veteran who passes his days tending his silkworms and keeping his dark secrets. Joseph's own horror of the running man, the dishevelled figure of his nightmares, endlessly repeating a pattern, recedes with his growing understanding of the difficult relationships in his family.
