In the Pittsburgh Marathon, 18,000 people from all over the world will participate. Some 9,500 will run a half marathon, while 4,500 participants will attempt the full 26.2 miles. Over 200 will quit before it's over. More than 100 will be injured and require medical treatment. And one man is going to be murdered.
When Dr. Cyprus Keller lines up to start the race, he knows who is going to die -- for the simple reason that he's going to kill him.
Keller, a university professor of criminology at Three Rivers University and a former police officer, is an expert in criminal behavior and victimology. However, when one of his female students is murdered and his graduate assistant attempts to kill him, Keller finds himself swinging frantically back and forth between being a suspect and a victim. When the police assign a motive to the crimes that Keller knows cannot be true, he begins to ask questions that somebody out there does not want answered.
In the course of 26.2 miles, Keller recounts how he found himself encircled by a series of killings that have shocked the city, while he pursues -- literally -- his prey: the man who is behind it all.

From Booklist:
Cyprus Keller is not a man to mince words. By the end of the marathon he is about to run as this beguiling mystery begins, he will have served justice by committing murder. Broken into 26 chapters (plus epilogue) to mirror the 26.2 miles of a marathon, the tale follows the race, but first-person narrator Keller provides the backstory as he runs, unveiling the events that lead to him hunting down his quarry over the course of a marathon. Gradually, we learn how ex-cop and now professor of criminology Keller wound up in the middle of a murder investigation after the death of one of his students. Using his old cop skills to dig into the circumstances surrounding the student’s death, he soon discovers that the student was conducting an investigation of her own, an effort that may have led to her death. The deeper Keller delves into the case, the more the body count grows. Hensley, a distance runner himself, artfully combines details of running a marathon with an engaging mystery possessing just the right amount of red herrings. --Eve Gaus
