| Plot Summary of The Runaway |

"A very disturbing but highly compelling and exciting story of two runaway children, Cathy Connor and Eammon Docherty who leave home, become forced into care, abscond from the children's home and become drawn into the worlds of underage prostitution and London's gangland respectively. As the years go by, both children grow up in their illegal professions, gaining their reputations, and their paths will cross once again with terrifying consequences."
Nick Warren, Resident Scholar
