Through a particularly tragic series of events, couch potato Maeve
Kelly has been forced to sign up for the Other Half, Bath's
springtime half-marathon. What Maeve doesn't know is just how
brutal some of the other runners are. As race day draws closer, an
Albanian refugee named Spiro makes a run for freedom on the other
side of town, escaping the chain gang that has held him hostage and
its murderous foreman, who is known to his charges as The Finisher.
The Finisher has killed for disobedience before, and Spiro knows
there's a target on his back as he tries to lose himself in the
genteel medieval city of Bath. Meanwhile Detective Peter Diamond is
tasked with crowd control on the raucous day of the race - and
catches sight of a violent criminal he put away a decade ago, and
who very much seems to be up to his old tricks now that he is
paroled. Diamond's hackles are already up when he learns that one
of the runners never crossed the finish line and has disappeared
without a trace. Was Diamond a spectator to the prelude to a
murder?
